.. [1] SQLite connects to file based databases. The same URL format is used, omitting
|
|
the hostname, and using the "file" portion as the filename of the database.
|
|
This has the effect of four slashes being present for an absolute file path:
|
|
``sqlite:////full/path/to/your/database/file.sqlite``.
