FindSQLite3

Finds the SQLite 3 library:

find_package(SQLite3 [<version>] [...])

SQLite is a small, fast, self-contained, high-reliability, and full-featured SQL database engine written in C, intended for embedding in applications.

Imported Targets

This module provides the following Imported Targets:

SQLite3::SQLite3

Target encapsulating SQLite library usage requirements. It is available only when SQLite is found.

Added in version 4.3.

SQLite::SQLite3

Deprecated. Identical to SQLite3::SQLite3.

If your project needs to support CMake < 4.3, consider adding the following to your project after calling find_package(SQLite3 ...):

if(NOT TARGET SQLite3::SQLite3) # CMake < 4.3
  add_library(SQLite3::SQLite3 ALIAS SQLite::SQLite3)
endif()

This will allow your project to use the new name while still permitting it to compile with older versions of CMake.
