strict_strings_by_default

Configure the SQLite3Adapter to be used in a strict strings mode. This will disable double-quoted string literals, because otherwise typos can silently go unnoticed. For example, it is possible to create an index for a non existing column. If you wish to enable this mode you can add the following line to your application.rb file:

config.active_record.sqlite3_adapter_strict_strings_by_default = true
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/sqlite3_adapter.rb, line 64
class_attribute :strict_strings_by_default, default: false

active?()

Alias for: connected?

connected?()

Also aliased as: active?

def connected?
  !(@raw_connection.nil? || @raw_connection.closed?)
end

def database_exists?
  @config[:database] == ":memory:" || File.exist?(@config[:database].to_s)

disconnect!()

Disconnects from the database if already connected. Otherwise, this method does nothing.

def disconnect!
  super

  @raw_connection&.close rescue nil
