How to open database encrypted with sqlcipher

Question

Could anyone post code sample of how to open sqlcipher database? I guess that we need to call the key function in some way.

Assuming you've installed SQLite.swift with SQLCipher support (if not, follow these instructions), you merely need to call the key function on your Database object:

import SQLite

let db = Database("path/to/ciphered.sqlite3")
db.key("your_key")

Once keyed, you can change the encryption key using rekey:

db.rekey("your_new_key")

The instructions are to include SQLCipher on your Podfile: pod 'SQLite.swift/SQLCipher'

Take a look at SQLite.swift.

To see how to call the underlying sqlcipher functions. e.g. sqlite3_key(), see Cipher.swift
To see how to open a sqlcipher database in SQlite.swift with a key: CipherTests.swift
