SQL Script Syntax

• Standard SQL syntax with statement delimiter ;

Compatibility

• DDL exported by SQLite can be used unchanged in a Flyway migration
• Any SQLite SQL script executed by Flyway, can be executed by the SQLite tools (after the placeholders have been replaced)

Example

<pre class="prettyprint">/* Single line comment */ CREATE TABLE test_data ( value VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY ); /* Multi-line comment */ -- Sql-style comment -- Placeholder INSERT INTO ${tableName} (name) VALUES ('Mr. T'); CREATE TRIGGER update_customer_address UPDATE OF address ON customers BEGIN UPDATE orders SET address = new.address WHERE customer_name = old.name; END;</pre>

Limitations

• No concurrent migration as SQLite does not support SELECT ... FOR UPDATE locking
• No support for multiple schemas or changing the current schema, as SQLite doesn't support schemas
• No support for CREATE TRANSACTION and COMMIT statements within a migration, as SQLite doesn't support nested transactions
