SqliteOperator¶

Use the SqliteOperator to execute Sqlite commands in a Sqlite database.

Using the Operator¶

Use the sqlite_conn_id argument to connect to your Sqlite instance where the connection metadata is structured as follows:

Sqlite Airflow Connection Metadata¶
Parameter	Input
Host: string	Sqlite database file
Schema: string	Set schema to execute Sql operations on by default
Login: string	Sqlite user
Password: string	Sqlite user password
Port: int	Sqlite port

An example usage of the SqliteOperator is as follows:

airflow/providers/sqlite/example_dags/example_sqlite.py[source]

# Example of creating a task that calls a common CREATE TABLE sql command.
create_table_sqlite_task = SqliteOperator(
    task_id='create_table_sqlite',
    sql=r"""
    CREATE TABLE Customers (
        customer_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
        first_name TEXT,
        last_name TEXT
    );
    """,
    dag=dag,
)

Furthermore, you can use an external file to execute the SQL commands. Script folder must be at the same level as DAG.py file.

airflow/providers/sqlite/example_dags/example_sqlite.py[source]

# Example of creating a task that calls an sql command from an external file.
external_create_table_sqlite_task = SqliteOperator(
    task_id='create_table_sqlite_external_file',
    sql='create_table.sql',
)

Note

Parameters given via SqliteOperator() are given first-place priority relative to parameters set via Airflow connection metadata (such as schema, login, password etc).
