Question

Trying to learn a bit about PDO and is going through this tutorial. It has the following snippet of code:

<?php

  try
  {
    $db = new PDO( sqlite::memory );
    echo "SQLite created in memory.";
  }
  catch(PDOException $e)
  {
    echo $e->getMessage();
  }

When I run this I get the following exception message:

SQLSTATE[HY000] [14] unable to open database file

What does that mean? How can I get it to work? I am able to connect to a MySQL database and also a regular SQLite database file. So I know at least something is working...

I m on Windows 7 64-bit with Apache 2.2.11 and PHP 5.3.0 (latest WampServer install). phpinfo() reports that I have pdo_sqlite with SQLite Library 3.6.15 enabled.

Answer 1

You have to write

$db = new PDO( sqlite::memory: );

the trailing : is missing.

The PDO_SQLITE Data Source Name (DSN) is composed of the following elements:

The DSN prefix is sqlite:.

To access a database on disk, append the absolute path to the DSN prefix.

To create a database in memory, append :memory: to the DSN prefix.

Answer 2

Not sure @ win permissions, but on *nix, SQLite needs write permision to the dir confining database files for temp files.
