# SQLite {#sqlite}

The engine allows to import and export data to SQLite and supports queries to SQLite tables directly from ClickHouse.

## Creating a Table {#creating-a-table}

``` sql
    CREATE TABLE [IF NOT EXISTS] [db.]table_name 
    (
        name1 [type1], 
        name2 [type2], ...
    ) ENGINE = SQLite('db_path', 'table')
```

**Engine Parameters**

-   `db_path` — Path to SQLite file with the database.
-   `table` — The SQLite table name.

## Usage Example {#usage-example}

Show query creating the SQLite table:

```sql
SHOW CREATE TABLE sqlite_db.table2;
```

``` text
CREATE TABLE SQLite.table2
( 
    `col1` Nullable(Int32), 
    `col2` Nullable(String)
) 
ENGINE = SQLite('sqlite.db','table2');
```

Returns the data from the table:

``` sql
SELECT * FROM sqlite_db.table2 ORDER BY col1;
```

```text
