# Installation
This package can be installed with the `go get` command:
go get github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3
_go-sqlite3_ is *cgo* package.
If you want to build your app using go-sqlite3, you need gcc.
However, after you have built and installed _go-sqlite3_ with `go install github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3` (which requires gcc), you can build your app without relying on gcc in future.
***Important: because this is a `CGO` enabled package, you are required to set the environment variable `CGO_ENABLED=1` and have a `gcc` compile present within your path.***
# API Reference
API documentation can be found [here](http://godoc.org/github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3).
Examples can be found under the [examples](./_example) directory.
# Connection String
When creating a new SQLite database or connection to an existing one, with the file name additional options can be given.
This is also known as a DSN (Data Source Name) string.
Options are append after the filename of the SQLite database.
The database filename and options are separated by an `?` (Question Mark).
Options should be URL-encoded (see [url.QueryEscape](https://golang.org/pkg/net/url/#QueryEscape)).
This also applies when using an in-memory database instead of a file.
Options can be given using the following format: `KEYWORD=VALUE` and multiple options can be combined with the `&` ampersand.
This library supports DSN options of SQLite itself and provides additional options.
Boolean values can be one of:
* `0` `no` `false` `off`
* `1` `yes` `true` `on`
