Prepare the runtime environment - connecting to the database

In order to connect to SQLite, you must have a database driver "dbmsqt*" in FGLDIR/dbdrivers. On most platforms, the SQLite driver is linked statically with the SQLite library, in other word SQLite is embedded in the ODI driver. However, on some platforms such as Linux™ and Max OS/X, where the SQLite library is usually present.
Make sure that the SQLite environment variables are properly set. You may want to define an environment variable such as SQLITEDIR the hold the installation directory of SQLite, which can then be used to set PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH. See SQLite documentation for more details.

If the SQLite library is not embedded in the the dbmsqt* driver, the environment must be set to find the SQLite library. Verify the environment variable defining the search path for database client shared library. On UNIX™ platforms, the variable is specific to the operating system. For example, on Solaris and Linux systems, it is LD_LIBRARY_PATH, on AIX^® it is LIBPATH, or HP/UX it is SHLIB_PATH. On Windows™, you define the DLL search path in the PATH environment variable.

Table 1. Shared library environment setting for SQLite
SQLite version	Shared library environment setting
SQLite 3.5 and higher	UNIX: Add $SQLITEDIR/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or its equivalent). Windows: Add %SQLITEDIR%\bin to PATH.

Make sure that all operating system users running the application have read/write access to the database file.
SQLite uses UTF-8 encoding. If the locale used by the runtime system (LANG/LC_ALL) is not compatible to UTF-8 (for example, fr_FR.iso88591), Genero will do the appropriate character set conversions.
Set up the fglprofile entries for database connections.
Note: Make sure that you are using the ODI driver corresponding to the database client and server version. Because Informix^® features emulation are dependant from the database server version, it is mandatory to use the same version of the database client and ODI driver as the server version.

The 'source' parameter defines the path to the SQLite database file. Note that the database file must reside on the local disk (SQLite does not support network file systems). SQLite also supports in-memory database creation with the :memory: db specification. See SQLite documentation (sqlite3_open) for more details.
