📦 Database Settings

LiteEco supports multiple database types for storing plugin data, including SQLite, MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL.

You can configure the database connection in the config.yml file under the database: section.

  sql-plugin-logger: false

🗃️ Supported Database Types

You can use any of the following database systems by setting the appropriate driverClassName and jdbc_url:

• SQLite

• JDBC URL:

  jdbc:sqlite:plugins/LiteEco/database.db
  

• Driver:

  org.sqlite.JDBC
  

• MySQL

• JDBC URL:

  jdbc:mysql://your_host:port/name_of_database
  

• Driver:

  com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver
  

• ⚠️ Note: Do not use this driver with MariaDB version 11.x or newer.

• MariaDB

• JDBC URL:

  jdbc:mariadb://your_host:port/name_of_database
  

• Driver:

  org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver

🔐 Authentication

For MySQL and MariaDB, you must provide:

• username: The database user
• password: The user's password

These are not required for SQLite.

---

🛠️ Troubleshooting

• If you experience issues with SQL queries or connections, you can enable the plugin's internal SQL logger:

sql-plugin-logger: true

This may help with debugging database-related problems.

✅ Tips

• Always verify your driverClassName matches the database type you're using.
• Ensure your database server allows external connections if you're hosting it remotely.
• When using SQLite, no external server is required – the database is stored locally.
