`SQLite <https://www.sqlite.org/>`_ is a fast and lightweight SQL database engine that stores data
either in memory or in a single file on disk.
Despite its simplicity, SQLite is a powerful tool. For example, it's the primary storage system for
a number of common applications including Dropbox, Firefox, and Chrome. It's well suited for
caching, and requires no extra configuration or dependencies, which is why it's the default backend
for requests-cache.
Cache Files
^^^^^^^^^^^
* See :ref:`files` for general info on specifying cache paths
* If you specify a name without an extension, the default extension ``.sqlite`` will be used
In-Memory Caching
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SQLite also supports `in-memory databases <https://www.sqlite.org/inmemorydb.html>`_.
You can enable this (in "shared" memory mode) with the ``use_memory`` option:
>>> session = CachedSession('http_cache', use_memory=True)
Or specify a memory URI with additional options:
>>> session = CachedSession(':file:memdb1?mode=memory')
Or just ``:memory:``, if you are only using the cache from a single thread:
>>> session = CachedSession(':memory:')
Performance
^^^^^^^^^^^
When working with average-sized HTTP responses (< 1MB) and using a modern SSD for file storage, you
can expect speeds of around:
* Write: 2-8ms
* Read: 0.2-0.6ms
Of course, this will vary based on hardware specs, response size, and other factors.
Concurrency
^^^^^^^^^^^
SQLite supports concurrent access, so it is safe to use from a multi-threaded and/or multi-process
application. It supports unlimited concurrent reads. Writes, however, are queued and run in serial,
so if you need to make large volumes of concurrent requests, you may want to consider a different
backend that's specifically made for that kind of workload, like :py:class:`.RedisCache`.
Connection Options
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The SQLite backend accepts any keyword arguments for :py:func:`sqlite3.connect`:
>>> backend = SQLiteCache('http_cache', timeout=30)
>>> session = CachedSession(backend=backend)
