- Within SPOON, make a new connection using for example a Table Input step.
- In the General tab, pick “Generic database” from the list of connection types.
- Pick “Native(JDBC)” from the Method of Access list.
- No further information required on this tab, go to the Generic tab.
- In the URL field, enter “jdbc:sqlite:c:\mydata\mydatabase.db” where c:\mydata\mydatabase.db is the SQLite database you wish to connect to.
- In the Driver class field, enter “org.sqlite.JDBC”.
This worked for me
