  • Options: Not implemented by sqflite_common_ffi.
  • Debug mode (log): Partially implemented by sqflite_common_ffi.
  • without rowid: Bad test case (0 is returned on Tizen).
• Open tests
  • open in transaction: A bug in sqflite_common_ffi.
  • Open non sqlite file: Bad test case (succeeds only on Android).
• Type tests
  • blob: Not implemented by sqflite_common_ffi (see getSqlArguments in sqflite_ffi_impl.dart).
  • bool: Not implemented by sqflite_common_ffi.
• Exp tests
  • sql dump file
• Exception tests
  • Sqlite Exception

We can even use sqlite3 directly without needing to extend sqflite.

import 'dart:ffi';
import 'package:sqlite3/open.dart';
import 'package:sqlite3/sqlite3.dart';

open.overrideFor(OperatingSystem.linux, () {
  return DynamicLibrary.open('libsqlite3.so.0');
});

Database db = sqlite3.openInMemory();
db.execute('...');

Basic operations (such as CREATE and INSERT) just worked but more testing is needed.

Comparisons:

• sqflite_tizen (current): An implementation of sqflite based on Tizen's sqlite3 API.
• sqflite_tizen (FFI-based): An implementation of sqflite based on sqflite_common_ffi.
• sqflite_common_ffi: An async wrapper around sqlite3 based on isolates.
• sqlite3: The core binding library that has no built-in async support.
• drift: An alternative relational database for Dart built on top of sqlite3 (written by the author of sqlite3).
