Basic SQLite project

This project is a basic C SQLite project that uses CMake as a build system.

It could be used as a base for any CMake/SQLite project. Just fork it, clone it and execute the rename_project.sh script. You will be prompted to enter the new project name, the new executable name and the new git repository, but you can keep the autodetected values. Finally, just commit and push the result to your repository.

## Overview

This project demonstrates the usage of the SQLite C library. It, first, tries to open the users.db SQLite database, and creates a new one if it does not yet exists. Then, it creates a user table, if it is not already created:

CREATE TABLE `user` (
    `id`            INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT UNIQUE,
    `first_name`    TEXT NOT NULL,
    `last_name`     TEXT NOT NULL,
    `birthday`      INTEGER,
    `email`         TEXT,
    `password`      TEXT
);

After that, it will prompt you to enter the number of users to be added (zero could be specified). If a positive value is entered, you should specify all details for each user.

Finally, it will display a table showing the full list of users, but just the columns first_name, last_name and birthday.

SQLite documentation:

• Doc
• Quick start
• Introduction to the SQLite C/C++ APIs
