I don't really know the answer to those questions. But I know SQLite is heavily used in almost every ecosystem so I would be really surprised if there were real blockers.
I know Android uses it a lot, so I opened up an Android project at my company and it looks like the android SDK comes with a bunch of SQLite abstractions, and it's not clear what the underlying driver is. But the SQLite official website ships an Android AAR so maybe that is it? (https://www.sqlite.org/2020/sqlite-android-3310100.aar https://www.sqlite.org/2020/sqlite-android-3310100.aar)
This seems to be the main general-purpose JVM lib: https://github.com/xerial/sqlite-jdbc https://github.com/xerial/sqlite-jdbc and it seems to be keeping in lockstep with the official SQLite versions (within a couple months).
Edit: Also can you elaborate on the "in a multiplatform way"? Maybe I'm having a brain-fart or memory-hole but shouldn't you not have to worry about that at all?
Edit2: Looks like there is a nice blurb in the docs on that github page:
Since sqlite-jdbc-3.6.19, the natively compiled SQLite engines will be used for the following operating systems:
Windows (Windows, x86 architecture, x86_64)
Mac OS X x86_64 (Support for SnowLeopard (i386) has been deprecated)
Linux x86, x86_64, arm (v5, v6, v7 and for android), ppc64
In the other OSs not listed above, the pure-java SQLite is used. (Applies to versions before 3.7.15)
If you want to use the native library for your OS, [build the source from scratch.
- lcall 7y agoI think I had found that one, but didn't actually try it. By multiplatform way, I meant avoiding native libraries (sounds like more maintenance and debugging over time) and still being able to run on OpenBSD (or any BSD), linux, windows, and mac, at least. Edit: yes, I think it does not currently run on OpenBSD, etc. One could contribute that library, but in that case, I'm more inclined to learn Rust and not deal with the JVM at all. Then I also get convenient access to things like pledge() and unveil(), and other OS-specific system calls, when I want. :) I will be grateful, however, for further correction & enlightenment... :) (Edit2: I have been reading "the book" in Rust, but probably should write a test to confirm that it will make calls to sqlite and pledge() as directly as I think, using the tools I found.)
