Where is the sqlite database file created by Django?

In the settings.py file, there is a variable called DATABASES. It is a dict, and one of its keys is default, which maps to another dict. This subdict has a key, NAME, which has the path of the SQLite database.

This is an example of a project of mine:

CURRENT_DIR= '/Users/brandizzi/Documents/software/netunong'DATABASES = {    'default': {        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',        'NAME': CURRENT_DIR+ '/database.db', # <- The path        'USER': '',        'PASSWORD': '',        'HOST': '',        'PORT': '',    }}

You can easily retrieve this value using the Django shell that is accessible running the command python manage.py shell. Just follow the steps below:

>>> import settings>>> settings.DATABASES['default']['NAME']'/Users/brandizzi/Documents/software/netunong/database.db'

If the returned value is some relative path, just use os.path.abspath to find the absolute one:

>>> import os.path>>> os.path.abspath(settings.DATABASES['default']['NAME'])'/Users/brandizzi/Documents/software/netunong/database.db'

if settings not available then this could embedded in your packageName/base Directory:

try:

import packageNameimport os.path.abspath In [3]: os.path.abspath(packageName.DATABASES['default']['NAME'])`---------------------------------------------------------------------------NameError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)<ipython-input-3-ca6dcbd75c6d> in <module>()----> 1 os.path.abspath(settings.DATABASES['default']['NAME'])>>> NameError: name 'settings' is not defined>>> os.path.abspath(packageName.settings.DATABASES['default']['NAME'])`>>> '/Users/brandizzi/Documents/software/netunong/database.db'
