sqlite3-regex.so

[RICK L. PRITCHETT]

Hi everyone,

I am guessing this needed to do regex with sqlite.  So far I keep getting that sqlite3 is not a column. Does anyone have a suggestion?

db eval “SELECT load_extension (‘sqlite3-regex.so’)”

Hi Rick,

I found I needed to do this command. “db enable_load_extension 1” before calling the load extension. Hope this works for you.

If on Linux and using “load sqlite3-regex.so” do we still need to enable the load option?

[John Mercogliano]

Not that I found.  You have the ability to create a .sqliterc in the users home directory, I added
.load “sqlite3-regex.so”
To the file so its there when I need it from the command line.

Can you share the contents of that file?

[RICK L. PRITCHETT]

Would the sqliterc be used by a tcl script?

[John Mercogliano]

No, only for the unix command line tool.  You will still need to do enable load extension to use regexp in tcl.

As far as the rc file, that one line I listed above is the only statement in the file.

fwiw, in tcl, we use the following to enable regexp within tcl proc:

DBCMD function regexp regexp
