I did a backup of the database “.db” (AFTER closing Plex Media Server of course).

#MESASQLITE ALTERNATIVE PLUS#

I have hundreds of hard-coded media Libraries I’m created in Plex (I used the Plus symbol to add media via the complete path), so changing these one by one would take forever.

#MESASQLITE ALTERNATIVE FOR MAC OS X#

HI… I’m trying to replace hard-coded paths in Plex Media Server for Mac OS X (10.9.4) using a similar approach to the one used in this article.

If you’d like to dig deeper into SQLite’s full-text features, the documentation is excellent, concise, and well worth the 15 or so minutes it takes to read through it. While you can treat an FTS table almost exactly like a regular SQLite table, there are some important differences that you need to be aware of. It’s easy to get up and running and lightning fast to use. Using full-text search with SQLite is a breeze. Pretty slick, eh? While the query looks incorrect (there is no book column defined in our schema), the book column is a hidden column created and used by fts4, suitable for use in querying all columns of the book table. SELECT * FROM book WHERE book MATCH 'Twain' Those queries are fine for searching the excerpts column, but what if you want to search every column at once? Perhaps for books by or about Mark Twain or have Mark Twain in the title? SELECT * FROM book WHERE excerpt MATCH ''It was the best of times'' SELECT * FROM book WHERE excerpt MATCH 'best NEAR worst' Since you can’t remember the name of the book, but you do remember the line, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. For example, you might want to search the book database for Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities. The options for search are pretty extensive, including token and token prefix queries, phrase queries, NEAR queries, and the usual AND, OR, and NOT queries.Īll queries against SQLite tables take the form of “ MATCH ” in the WHERE clause of a select statement. Now that you’ve created your FTS table, you’re ready to start searching. FTS tables can be used (almost) exactly like any other SQLite table, just with liberal amounts of awesome sauce applied. The difference is you’re creating a virtual table specifying the full-text module you’ll be using.ĬREATE VIRTUAL TABLE book USING fts4 (id, author, title, excerpt) If full-text search is not enabled (you’ll know if creating a full-text virtual table fails), simply recompile, adding the fts3 switches when you do.)Ĭreating an FTS table is about the same as creating a normal table.

(While full-text search is not enabled by default, it was enabled in the pre-compiled dll I installed on my Windows machine. Search your full-text table like a boss.Create a new virtual full-text search table.Ensure full-text search is enabled (see below).The first is you don’t need the full-text capability, and the second is you didn’t know it could be done. Full-text search with SQLite is so ridiculously easy to implement, there are only two valid reasons you haven’t done it yet.
