SQLite

Key takeaways

The Workflow Engine SQLite schema contains 15 persistence tables. Each table has a separate reference page that lists its purpose, columns, database-specific types, nullability, primary keys, defaults, and indexes. The provider supports SQLite 3.35.0 or later. Use the object list below.

The SQLite persistence provider uses 15 tables to store Workflow Engine process definitions, runtime state, timers, history, and provider data. Open a table page below to review its columns, database types, keys, defaults, and indexes.

Supported database version

The Workflow Engine SQLite persistence provider supports SQLite 3.35.0 or later. The provider source on GitHub contains the implementation for the objects listed on this page.

Database objects

The SQLite schema contains the following 15 tables. Each table links to a separate page with its purpose, columns, database types, nullability, primary keys, defaults, and indexes.

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum supported SQLite version?

The Workflow Engine SQLite persistence provider supports SQLite 3.35.0 or later.

How many tables are in the Workflow Engine SQLite schema?

The SQLite schema contains 15 tables. The Database objects section links to a separate reference page for each table.

Why can the SQLite schema differ from another provider?

The SQLite provider uses database-specific data types, identifier rules, defaults, and index syntax while implementing the same Workflow Engine persistence contracts.
