Insert into messages (2, strfTime('%s',' 15:08:14'), 1, 1, 2, 'Hi Honey just got this new messaging app - it''s awful :)') Insert into messages (1, strfTime('%s',' 09:12:45'), 0, 1, 1, 'Hello welcome to Sanderson Forensics test messaging database')

The simplified instructions I use are as follows:

add 9 numbered records to the messages tableĪlso unless you specifically tell SQLite differently it treats each individual database update as a transaction, so I group the updates into sets of 4 so each of the 4 updates forms a transaction.create a couple of tables (messages and users).For the purposes of this demo I do the following: Lets look at an example with a rollback journal. in order to maintain database integrity SQLite MUST maintain a copy of the data that has been deleted somewhere until it ‘knows’ the last transaction has completed correctly, that somewhere is the journal. Well that gives me a warm fuzzy feeling, when I delete it, it’s gone! But hang on, if SQLite immediately overwrites something I delete and something goes wrong before the transaction completes how can SQLite rewind the DB to its last good state? It would make no sense to update the messages table with a message that referred to user x when user x’s details had not yet been added to the users table, so both these actions could be wrapped in a transaction so either both tables are updated or neither is updated.įirst we need to understand what secure delete does, according to the SQLite website the command (pragma) that initiates secure delete says “When secure-delete is (sic) on, SQLite overwrites deleted content with zeros.” Think of a simple messaging application whereby a message is received asking to be “friends” – our hypothetical app needs to write the friend request to the messages table and add a user to the users table. We also need to understand that SQLite groups actions together in transactions, transactions can be one database update (write, modify, delete) or it can be many thousands of such actions as determined by the user. This securely deleted data can and sometimes does exist for quite some time. It might seem obvious then to state that a copy of securely deleted data would need to be kept in order to facilitate this functionality. Simply put if an operation fails for whatever reason then the changes to the database are unwound to put the DB back to its last known good state. The raison d’etre for a journal, be it a traditional rollback journal or the newer SQLite Write Ahead Log (WAL) file is to maintain database integrity. I can either use the icon in the upper left-hand corner, or I can go under the File menu and select New Database.A.

Once you've installed DB Browser for SQLite, importing a dataset is incredibly easy.

There are installable versions for Macintosh, for Windows, for Portable Applications, and for Linux. DB Browser is an open-source SQLite browser, written in C++ and available on GitHub.

In the next video, I'll show how to import the CSV file, plus select the field formats. This may be acceptable for your needs so I'm going to show how it works. This worked better than using a web browser but I was still unable to select the format of the fields before import. My next attempt is to use DB Browser for SQLite, with the SQLite library.
