Embed SQLite in Rust by adding the diesel crate with sqlite and libsqlite3-sys/bundled features to Cargo.toml.
Use the diesel crate with the sqlite and libsqlite3-sys/bundled features to embed SQLite directly into your Rust binary without external dependencies.
[dependencies]
diesel = { version = "2.2", features = ["sqlite", "libsqlite3-sys/bundled"] }
This configuration compiles the SQLite library as part of your build process, ensuring a self-contained executable.
Using SQLite with Rust lets your program include a small, built-in database engine. Instead of needing to install database software separately, the database code is baked directly into your application file. It is like carrying your own toolbox everywhere you go rather than relying on a shared workshop.
