Test in Java

java -cp sqlite-jdbc-3.72.0.jar org.sqlite.JDBC

Option 1: Direct JAR Download

  1. Go to the Maven Central Repository:
    https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/xerial/sqlite-jdbc/3.72.0/
  2. Download: sqlite-jdbc-3.72.0.jar
  3. Place the JAR in your project’s lib/ folder or any directory of your choice.

3.2 Eclipse IDE

  1. Right-click your project → Build Path → Configure Build Path.
  2. Go to Libraries tab → Add External JARs.
  3. Navigate to sqlitejdbc372.jar → Apply and Close.

3) Example usage (JDBC)

import java.sql.*;
String url = "jdbc:sqlite:sample.db";
try (Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url)) 
  Statement st = conn.createStatement();
  st.executeUpdate("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS test(id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT);");
  st.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO test(name) VALUES('Alice');");
  ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM test;");
  while (rs.next()) System.out.println(rs.getInt("id")+": "+rs.getString("name"));

No explicit Class.forName(...) is required for modern drivers, but you can use:

Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC");

Note

The actual version appears to be 3.72.0 (not 372). If you specifically need version 3.7.2 (old), that would be: download sqlitejdbc372jar install

wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/xerial/sqlite-jdbc/3.7.2/sqlite-jdbc-3.7.2.jar

What is sqlite-jdbc-3.72.jar?

Before diving into the installation, let’s clarify what this file is. The sqlite-jdbc-3.72.jar is a compiled Java archive (JAR) file that contains:

  • The pure Java JDBC driver (class org.sqlite.JDBC)
  • Embedded native SQLite libraries for Windows, macOS, Linux, and more
  • Full JDBC compliance for executing SQL statements

Unlike traditional databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL), SQLite does not run as a separate server process. The sqlite-jdbc driver embeds the entire database engine inside your Java application. Feature: SQLite JDBC Driver (Version 3

Step 4: Installing via Gradle

For Gradle (Kotlin DSL or Groovy):

build.gradle (Groovy):

dependencies 
    implementation 'org.xerial:sqlite-jdbc:3.72.0'

build.gradle.kts (Kotlin):

dependencies 
    implementation("org.xerial:sqlite-jdbc:3.72.0")

Then run:

gradle build

Gradle will download the JAR to ~/.gradle/caches/.
