# sqliteexporter

Sqlite exporter for the OpenTelemetry Collector and OpenTelemetry Go.
Note that this is an alpha release, tables and column names may change in the
future. [golang-migrate](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/golang-migrate/migrate/v4)
is used to manage updates to the database schema.
## Configuration Options
* `path` [no default]: Path to the Sqlite database file. If the file does not
exist, it will be created on startup.
## Example
```yaml
exporters:
sqlite:
path: local.db
```
## Tables
Currently, this exporter creates 3 tables to store trace span data:
* `spans`: Each individual spans
* `events`: Span events, with a `span_id` to JOIN with the `spans` table
* `links`: Span links, with a `parent_span_id` to JOIN with the `spans` table
The Resource and Instrumentation Library are inlined in the `spans` table. This
creates some duplication but makes the schema much easier to navigate and query.
Attributes are inlined as JSON-encoded string and can be queried using Sqlite's
[JSON functions and operators](https://www.sqlite.org/json1.html).
## Note on JSONB data type
Sqlite recently added [support for the JSONB data type](https://sqlite.org/draft/jsonb.html)
which improves performance on JSON-encoded data. Support for this feature is
planned for the future.
