How to connect SQLite Cloud to Django using a connection string?

[Orrv2904]

Hi, I’m trying to connect my Django application to an SQLite database hosted on SQLite Cloud using the provided connection string. However, I’m not sure how to configure it correctly in Django since, by default, Django only supports local SQLite databases. My connection string is the following:

sqlitecloud://conexionstring

I’ve tried configuring the database in Django’s settings.py file like this:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
        'NAME': BASE_DIR / 'db.sqlite3',
    }
}

However, I’m getting an error saying that it can’t open the database file. Is there a library or additional configuration I need to use to get Django to connect correctly to SQLite Cloud?

Any help or suggestions for setting up this connection would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, right now we don’t have the adapter for the Django ORM to use with our SQLite Cloud driver.
You can still use the database without the ORM by following this guide: https://docs.sqlitecloud.io/docs/quick-start-django
If you’re open to using an ORM, we support SQLAlchemy and you can check the tutorial here: https://docs.sqlitecloud.io/docs/quick-start-sqlalchemy-orm
