Using SQLite to maintain your monthly bills.

Tue, 24 Aug 2010 18:13:54 +0000

I was looking for a small application to maintain my every month bills. The application had to be small and script-able. I basically wanted to keep track of the bills that have been generated and pending payment and the bills that have been paid.

First we will create the <a class="zem_slink" title="Database" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database">database schema with the following command:

  <td>
    <div class="text codecolorer">
      CREATE TABLE bills(name varchar(20), due_dt text, p_dt text, amount integer);
    </div>
  </td>
</tr>

So, I built on the knowledge gathered on <a class="zem_slink" title="SQLite" rel="homepage" href="http://sqlite.org/">SQLite. And here is a small script that I wrote:

SQLite – simple use in scripts

Today we will look a the most simple use’s in the scripts and how to use them.

echo ”insert into bills values (”$name”,$date_now, $date_now,$1)”|sqlite bills

or the other way to do this is

<a class="zem_slink" title="SQLite" rel="homepage" href="http://sqlite.org/">sqlite3 bills ”insert into bills values (”$name”,$date_now, $date_now,$1)”

OK, now in the next post we will see a simple application that I am currently developing or planning.<h6 class="zemanta-related-title" style="font-size: 1em;">Related articles by Zemanta <ul class="zemanta-article-ul"> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://tobu.lightbird.net/">Tobu Tutorial (tobu.lightbird.net) <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.co.uk/2010/07/02/openoffice_adopts_gstreamer/">OpenOffice gets Ubuntu-media friendly (go.theregister.com) <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://elegantcode.com/2010/07/02/using-transactionscope-with-sqlite/">Using TransactionScope with SQLite (elegantcode.com) <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/aikisteve/flash-and-the-city-2010">Flash And The City 2010 (slideshare.net) <div class="zemanta-pixie" style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;"><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" title="Enhanced by Zemanta" href="http://www.zemanta.com/"><img class="zemanta-pixie-img" style="border: medium none; float: right;" src="http://img.zemanta.com/zemified_e.png?x-id=7b7c893c-d92b-44bc-8923-d7c6fddc8b42" alt="Enhanced by Zemanta" /><span class="zem-script more-related pretty-attribution">

SQLite – Easy to use, dependable and good to use database for small applications.

For last couple of days I am looking at <a class="zem_slink" title="SQLite" rel="homepage" href="http://sqlite.org/">SQLite, a very footprint, file based Database.

SQLite is a C <a class="zem_slink" title="Library (computing)" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_%28computing%29">library that implements an <a class="zem_slink" title="SQL" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL">SQL database <a class="zem_slink" title="Database engine" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_engine">engine.
