### Description
Self-contained Go sqlite3 driver with an AES-256 encrypted sqlite3 database
conforming to the built-in database/sql interface. It is based on:
- Go sqlite3 driver: https://github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3
2019-06-09 07:24:20 +00:00
- SQLite extension with AES-256 codec: https://github.com/sqlcipher/sqlcipher
- AES-256 implementation from: https://github.com/libtom/libtomcrypt
SQLite itself is part of SQLCipher.
### Incompatibilities of SQLCipher
The version tags of go-sqlcipher are the same as for SQLCipher.
**SQLCipher 4.x is incompatible with SQLCipher 3.x!**
go-sqlcipher does not implement any migration strategies at the moment.
So if you upgrade a major version of go-sqlcipher, you yourself are responsible
to upgrade existing database files.
See [migrating databases](https://www.zetetic.net/sqlcipher/sqlcipher-api/#Migrating_Databases) for details.
To upgrade your Go code to the 4.x series, change the import path to
"github.com/mutecomm/go-sqlcipher/v4"

### Installation
This package can be installed with the go get command:
go get github.com/mutecomm/go-sqlcipher
### Documentation
To create and open encrypted database files use the following DSN parameters:
```go
key := "2DD29CA851E7B56E4697B0E1F08507293D761A05CE4D1B628663F411A8086D99"
dbname := fmt.Sprintf("db?_pragma_key=x'%s'&_pragma_cipher_page_size=4096", key)
db, _ := sql.Open("sqlite3", dbname)
```
`_pragma_key` is the hex encoded 32 byte key (must be 64 characters long).
`_pragma_cipher_page_size` is the page size of the encrypted database (set if
you want a different value than the default size).
```go
key := url.QueryEscape("secret")
dbname := fmt.Sprintf("db?_pragma_key=%s&_pragma_cipher_page_size=4096", key)
db, _ := sql.Open("sqlite3", dbname)
```
This uses a passphrase directly as `_pragma_key` with the key derivation function in
SQLCipher. Do not forget the `url.QueryEscape()` call in your code!
See also [PRAGMA key](https://www.zetetic.net/sqlcipher/sqlcipher-api/#PRAGMA_key).

Use the function
[sqlite3.IsEncrypted()](https://godoc.org/github.com/mutecomm/go-sqlcipher#IsEncrypted)
to check whether a database file is encrypted or not.
Examples can be found under the `./_example` directory
