About

SQLHeavy is a wrapper on top of SQLite with a GObject-based interface, providing very nice APIs for C and Vala, GObject Introspection support, and additional functionality not present in SQLite.

For a high-level overview of the library, see the User Guide.

Features

SQLHeavy provides convenient interfaces for several interfaces which can be a bit difficult and/or awkward to use properly from SQLite (especially from Vala), such as user defined functions and pragmas, as well as easy to use ways to keep track of transactions and schemas.

Additionally, SQLHeavy makes use of features provided by the GLIb libraries to provide functionality which is absent from SQLite itself, including:

Regular expressions
Checksums
ZLib compression/decompression
Asynchronous queries and backups
ORM, including a code generator and field-level change notifications
GTK+ integration
