A library that provides access to a database that can be queried through a SQLite API.
expo-sqlite
gives your app access to a database that can be queried through a SQLite API. The database is persisted across restarts of your app.
-
npx expo install expo-sqlite
If you are installing this in an existing React Native app (bare workflow), start by installing expo
in your project. Then, follow the additional instructions as mentioned by library's README under "Installation in bare React Native projects" section.
You can configure expo-sqlite
for advanced configurations using its built-in config plugin if you use config plugins in your project (EAS Build or npx expo run:[android|ios]
). The plugin allows you to configure various properties that cannot be set at runtime and require building a new app binary to take effect.

Prepared statement allows you compile your SQL query once and execute it multiple times with different parameters. You can get a prepared statement by calling prepareAsync()
or prepareSync()
method on a database instance. The prepared statement can fulfill CRUD operations by calling executeAsync()
or executeSync()
method.
Note: Remember to call
finalizeAsync()
orfinalizeSync()
method to release the prepared statement after you finish using the statement.try-finally
block is recommended to ensure the prepared statement is finalized.
const statement = await db.prepareAsync(
'INSERT INTO test (value, intValue) VALUES ($value, $intValue)'
);
try {
let result = await statement.executeAsync({ $value: 'bbb', $intValue: 101 });
console.log('bbb and 101:', result.lastInsertRowId, result.changes);
result = await statement.executeAsync({ $value: 'ccc', $intValue: 102 });

result = await statement.executeAsync({ $value: 'ddd', $intValue: 103 });
console.log('ddd and 103:', result.lastInsertRowId, result.changes);
} finally {
await statement.finalizeAsync();

const statement2 = await db.prepareAsync('SELECT * FROM test WHERE intValue >= $intValue');
try {
const result = await statement2.executeAsync<{ value: string; intValue: number }>({
$intValue: 100,

useSQLiteContext()
hook with React.Suspense
As with the useSQLiteContext()
hook, you can also integrate the SQLiteProvider
with React.Suspense
to show a fallback component until the database is ready. To enable the integration, pass the useSuspense
prop to the SQLiteProvider
component.
import { SQLiteProvider, useSQLiteContext } from 'expo-sqlite';
import { Suspense } from 'react';
import { View, Text, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
export default function App() {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Suspense fallback={<Fallback />}>
<SQLiteProvider databaseName="test.db" onInit={migrateDbIfNeeded} useSuspense>
<Header />
<Content />
</SQLiteProvider>
</Suspense>
</View>
);
}
const db = await SQLite.openDatabaseAsync('databaseName');
await db.withTransactionAsync(async () => {
const result = await db.getFirstAsync('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM USERS');
console.log('Count:', result.rows[0]['COUNT(*)']);
});
Due to the nature of async/await, any query that runs while the transaction is active will be included in the transaction. This includes query statements that are outside of the scope function passed to withTransactionAsync()
and may be surprising behavior. For example, the following test case runs queries inside and outside of a scope function passed to withTransactionAsync()
. However, all of the queries will run within the actual SQL transaction because the second UPDATE
query runs before the transaction finishes.
Promise.all([
// 1. A new transaction begins
db.withTransactionAsync(async () => {
// 2. The value "first" is inserted into the test table and we wait 2
// seconds
await db.execAsync('INSERT INTO test (data) VALUES ("first")');
await sleep(2000);
// 4. Two seconds in, we read the latest data from the table
const row = await db.getFirstAsync<{ data: string }>('SELECT data FROM test');
// ❌ The data in the table will be "second" and this expectation will fail.
// Additionally, this expectation will throw an error and roll back the
// transaction, including the `UPDATE` query below since it ran within
// the transaction.
expect(row.data).toBe('first');
}),
// 3. One second in, the data in the test table is updated to be "second".
// This `UPDATE` query runs in the transaction even though its code is
// outside of it because the transaction happens to be active at the time
// this query runs.
sleep(1000).then(async () => db.execAsync('UPDATE test SET data = "second"')),
]);
The withExclusiveTransactionAsync()
function addresses this. Only queries that run within the scope function passed to withExclusiveTransactionAsync()
will run within the actual SQL transaction.
const db = await SQLite.openDatabaseAsync('databaseName');
await db.execAsync('PRAGMA journal_mode = WAL');
await db.execAsync('PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON');
Tip: Enable WAL journal mode when you create a new database to improve performance in general.
To open a new SQLite database using an existing .db file you already have, you can use the SQLiteProvider
with assetSource
.
import { SQLiteProvider, useSQLiteContext } from 'expo-sqlite';
import { View, Text, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
export default function App() {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<SQLiteProvider databaseName="test.db" assetSource={{ assetId: require('./assets/test.db') }}>
<Header />
<Content />
</SQLiteProvider>
</View>
);
}
Use Uint8Array
to pass binary data to the database:
await db.execAsync(`
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS blobs;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS blobs (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL, data BLOB);
`);
const blob = new Uint8Array([0x00, 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05]);
await db.runAsync('INSERT INTO blobs (data) VALUES (?)', blob);
const row = await db.getFirstAsync<{ data: Uint8Array }>('SELECT * FROM blobs');
expect(row.data).toEqual(blob);
You can inspect a database, execute queries against it, and explore data with the drizzle-studio-expo dev tools plugin. This plugin enables you to launch Drizzle Studio, connected to a database in your app, directly from Expo CLI. This plugin can be used with any expo-sqlite
configuration. It does not require that you use Drizzle ORM in your app. Learn how to install and use the plugin.
The expo-sqlite
library is designed to be a solid SQLite foundation. It enables broader integrations with third-party libraries for more advanced higher-level features. Here are some of the libraries that you can use with expo-sqlite
.
Drizzle is a "headless TypeScript ORM with a head". It runs on Node.js, Bun, Deno, and React Native. It also has a CLI companion called drizzle-kit
for generating SQL migrations.
Check out the Drizzle ORM documentation and the expo-sqlite
integration guide for more details.
Knex.js is a SQL query builder that is "flexible, portable, and fun to use!"
Check out the expo-sqlite
integration guide for more details.
The following table summarizes the common API for SQLiteDatabase
and SQLiteStatement
classes:
SQLiteDatabase methods | SQLiteStatement methods | Description | Use Case |
---|---|---|---|
runAsync() | executeAsync() | Executes a SQL query, returning information on the changes made. | Ideal for SQL write operations such as INSERT , UPDATE , DELETE . |
getFirstAsync() | executeAsync() + getFirstAsync() | Retrieves the first row from the query result. | Suitable for fetching a single row from the database. For example: getFirstAsync('SELECT * FROM Users WHERE id = ?', userId) . |
getAllAsync() | executeAsync() + getFirstAsync() | Fetches all query results at once. | Best suited for scenarios with smaller result sets, such as queries with a LIMIT clause, like SELECT * FROM Table LIMIT 100 , where you intend to retrieve all results in a single batch. |
getEachAsync() | executeAsync() + for-await-of async iterator | Provides an iterator for result set traversal. This method fetches one row at a time from the database, potentially reducing memory usage compared to getAllAsync() . | Recommended for handling large result sets incrementally, such as with infinite scrolling implementations. |
SQLiteProvider
Type: React.Element<SQLiteProviderProps>
Context.Provider component that provides a SQLite database to all children.
All descendants of this component will be able to access the database using the useSQLiteContext
hook.
assetSource
Optional • Type: SQLiteProviderAssetSource
Import a bundled database file from the specified asset module.
Example
assetSource={{ assetId: require('./assets/db.db') }}
onError
Optional • Type: (error: Error) => void
• Default: rethrow the error
Handle errors from SQLiteProvider.
onInit
Optional • Type: (db: SQLiteDatabase) => Promise<void>
A custom initialization handler to run before rendering the children. You can use this to run database migrations or other setup tasks.
useSuspense
Optional • Type: boolean
• Default: false
Enable React.Suspense
integration.
Example
export default function App() {
return (
<Suspense fallback={<Text>Loading...</Text>}>
<SQLiteProvider databaseName="test.db" useSuspense={true}>
<Main />
</SQLiteProvider>
</Suspense>
);
}
useSQLiteContext()
A global hook for accessing the SQLite database across components.
This hook should only be used within a <SQLiteProvider>
component.
Example
export default function App() {
return (
<SQLiteProvider databaseName="test.db">
<Main />
</SQLiteProvider>
);
}
export function Main() {
const db = useSQLiteContext();
console.log('sqlite version', db.getSync('SELECT sqlite_version()'));
return <View />
}

finalizeAsync()
Finalize the prepared statement. This will call the sqlite3_finalize()
C function under the hood.
Attempting to access a finalized statement will result in an error.
Note: While expo-sqlite will automatically finalize any orphaned prepared statements upon closing the database, it is considered best practice to manually finalize prepared statements as soon as they are no longer needed. This helps to prevent resource leaks. You can use the
try...finally
statement to ensure that prepared statements are finalized even if an error occurs.
Promise<void>
finalizeSync()
Finalize the prepared statement. This will call the sqlite3_finalize()
C function under the hood.
Attempting to access a finalized statement will result in an error.
Note: While expo-sqlite will automatically finalize any orphaned prepared statements upon closing the database, it is considered best practice to manually finalize prepared statements as soon as they are no longer needed. This helps to prevent resource leaks. You can use the

SQLiteExecuteAsyncResult
Extends: AsyncIterableIterator<T>
A result returned by SQLiteStatement.executeAsync()
.
Example
The result includes the lastInsertRowId
and changes
properties. You can get the information from the write operations.
const statement = await db.prepareAsync('INSERT INTO test (value) VALUES (?)');
try {
const result = await statement.executeAsync(101);
console.log('lastInsertRowId:', result.lastInsertRowId);
console.log('changes:', result.changes);
} finally {
await statement.finalizeAsync();
}
Example
The result implements the AsyncIterator
interface, so you can use it in for await...of
loops.
const statement = await db.prepareAsync('SELECT value FROM test WHERE value > ?');
try {
const result = await statement.executeAsync<{ value: number }>(100);
for await (const row of result) {
console.log('row value:', row.value);
}
} finally {
await statement.finalizeAsync();
}
Example
If your write operations also return values, you can mix all of them together.
const statement = await db.prepareAsync('INSERT INTO test (name, value) VALUES (?, ?) RETURNING name');
try {
const result = await statement.executeAsync<{ name: string }>('John Doe', 101);
console.log('lastInsertRowId:', result.lastInsertRowId);
console.log('changes:', result.changes);
for await (const row of result) {
console.log('name:', row.name);
}
} finally {
await statement.finalizeAsync();
}
SQLiteExecuteAsyncResult Methods
getAllAsync()
Get all rows of the result set. This requires the SQLite cursor to be in its initial state. If you have already retrieved rows from the result set, you need to reset the cursor first by calling resetAsync()
. Otherwise, an error will be thrown.
Promise<T[]>
getFirstAsync()
Get the first row of the result set. This requires the SQLite cursor to be in its initial state. If you have already retrieved rows from the result set, you need to reset the cursor first by calling resetAsync()
. Otherwise, an error will be thrown.
Promise<null | T>
resetAsync()
Reset the prepared statement cursor. This will call the sqlite3_reset()
C function under the hood.
Promise<void>

const statement = db.prepareSync('INSERT INTO test (value) VALUES (?)');
try {
const result = statement.executeSync(101);
console.log('lastInsertRowId:', result.lastInsertRowId);
console.log('changes:', result.changes);
} finally {
statement.finalizeSync();
}
Example
The result implements the Iterator
interface, so you can use it in for...of
loops.
const statement = db.prepareSync('SELECT value FROM test WHERE value > ?');
try {
const result = statement.executeSync<{ value: number }>(100);
for (const row of result) {
console.log('row value:', row.value);
}
} finally {
statement.finalizeSync();
}
Example
If your write operations also return values, you can mix all of them together.
const statement = db.prepareSync('INSERT INTO test (name, value) VALUES (?, ?) RETURNING name');
try {
const result = statement.executeSync<{ name: string }>('John Doe', 101);
console.log('lastInsertRowId:', result.lastInsertRowId);
console.log('changes:', result.changes);
for (const row of result) {
console.log('name:', row.name);
}
} finally {
statement.finalizeSync();
}
SQLiteExecuteSyncResult Methods
getAllSync()
Get all rows of the result set. This requires the SQLite cursor to be in its initial state. If you have already retrieved rows from the result set, you need to reset the cursor first by calling resetSync()
. Otherwise, an error will be thrown.
T[]
getFirstSync()
Get the first row of the result set. This requires the SQLite cursor to be in its initial state. If you have already retrieved rows from the result set, you need to reset the cursor first by calling resetSync()
. Otherwise, an error will be thrown.
null | T
resetSync()
Reset the prepared statement cursor. This will call the sqlite3_reset()
C function under the hood.
void

SQLiteBindParams
Literal Type: multiple types
Acceptable values are: Record<string, SQLiteBindValue>
SQLiteBindValue
Literal Type: multiple types
Bind parameters to the prepared statement. You can either pass the parameters in the following forms:
Example
A single array for unnamed parameters.
const statement = await db.prepareAsync('SELECT * FROM test WHERE value = ? AND intValue = ?');
const result = await statement.executeAsync(['test1', 789]);
const firstRow = await result.getFirstAsync();
Example
Variadic arguments for unnamed parameters.
const statement = await db.prepareAsync('SELECT * FROM test WHERE value = ? AND intValue = ?');
const result = await statement.executeAsync('test1', 789);
const firstRow = await result.getFirstAsync();
Example
A single object for named parameters
We support multiple named parameter forms such as :VVV
, @VVV
, and $VVV
. We recommend using $VVV
because JavaScript allows using $
in identifiers without escaping.
const statement = await db.prepareAsync('SELECT * FROM test WHERE value = $value AND intValue = $intValue');
const result = await statement.executeAsync({ $value: 'test1', $intValue: 789 });
const firstRow = await result.getFirstAsync();
Acceptable values are: string
| number
| null
| boolean
| Uint8Array
