SQLiteCpp Troubleshooting

Common compiler errors

  • MSVC: error C2065 or C2039 usually means a missing include or wrong symbol.
  • GCC/Clang: use of undeclared identifier or no member named indicates missing includes or API mismatch.

Common linker errors

  • LNK2019 unresolved external symbol "SQLite::Database::exec":
    • Missing SQLiteCpp library or missing source file in build.

Missing sqlite3 on Linux

  • Errors like undefined reference to sqlite3_xxx:
    • Install libsqlite3-dev, or enable internal sqlite3.
    • CMake option: -DSQLITECPP_INTERNAL_SQLITE=ON.

Column metadata error

  • undefined reference to sqlite3_column_origin_name:
    • Your sqlite3 library lacks SQLITE_ENABLE_COLUMN_METADATA.
    • Options:
      • Rebuild sqlite3 with that flag.
      • Disable SQLITE_ENABLE_COLUMN_METADATA.
      • Use internal sqlite3 (SQLITECPP_INTERNAL_SQLITE=ON).

Destructors and assertions

  • Do not throw in destructors; use SQLITECPP_ASSERT() instead.
