Add randomized SQLite database storage - #502
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe plugin adds managed SQLite storage with randomized paths, legacy migration, protected files, exclusive locking, maintenance recovery, and initialization error handling. Composer cleanup removes the managed database directory, and PHPUnit tests cover storage lifecycle, concurrency, permissions, and failures. ChangesSQLite storage lifecycle

PHP PDO::SQLITE_ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS and Pdo\Sqlite::ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS availability version
💡 Result:
The constant PDO::SQLITE_ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS and its corresponding Pdo\Sqlite class constant were introduced in PHP 7.3.0 [1]. These constants allow developers to configure SQLite database connection flags, such as SQLITE_OPEN_READONLY, SQLITE_OPEN_READWRITE, and SQLITE_OPEN_CREATE [2][1]. While historically accessed via the PDO class (e.g., PDO::SQLITE_ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS), recent PHP versions have introduced a specific Pdo\Sqlite class to encapsulate SQLite-specific functionality and constants [3][4]. Summary of availability: - PDO::SQLITE_ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS (and related flags like SQLITE_OPEN_READONLY): Available since PHP 7.3.0 [1]. - Pdo\Sqlite::ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS: Part of the Pdo\Sqlite class introduced to provide a more structured approach to SQLite driver constants [3][5]. The Pdo\Sqlite class itself and these namespaced constants are available in modern PHP versions, including PHP 8.4 [4]. In practice, PDO::SQLITE_ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS and Pdo\Sqlite::ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS refer to the same underlying configuration option for the SQLite PDO driver [5]. Using the Pdo\Sqlite namespace is the recommended modern practice for accessing these constants [3][4].

site:php.net/manual PDO_SQLITE default creates database file if it does not exist SQLITE_ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS PHP 7.3
💡 Result:
By default, the PDO_SQLITE driver creates a database file if it does not exist when a connection is opened [1][2]. Regarding PHP 7.3 and the PDO::SQLITE_ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS attribute: 1. Introduction: The PDO::SQLITE_ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS attribute was introduced in PHP 7.3 to provide more granular control over how SQLite database connections are opened [3][4]. 2. Purpose: This attribute allows you to set specific flags, such as opening a database in read-only mode using PDO::SQLITE_OPEN_READONLY, which was previously difficult or impossible to configure directly through standard PDO connection strings [3][4]. 3. Default Behavior: Even with the introduction of PDO::SQLITE_ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS, the default behavior of the PDO_SQLITE driver remains to create the database file if it does not exist [1][2]. If you specifically require read-only access (where the file must already exist and the driver should not create it), you must explicitly set the PDO::SQLITE_ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS attribute to PDO::SQLITE_OPEN_READONLY [3][4]. Note: In later versions of PHP, these constants have been namespaced (e.g., PDO::SQLITE_ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS became Pdo\Sqlite::ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS), but the functionality described applies to the usage in PHP 7.3 [5].

Preserve no-create semantics on PHP 7.2. PHP 7.2 skips both open-flag branches. If another process removes the database after lock() checks is_file(), new PDO( 'sqlite:' . $database_path, ..., $pdo_options ) uses PDO_SQLITE’s default create behavior and can create an empty database. Add a PHP 7.2-compatible path that fails when the database is missing.

This is a valid edge case on PHP 7.2. There is no simple fix, and I think it's OK to accept this.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@JanJakes, acknowledged. The PHP 7.2 race condition remains possible if the database file is removed between the is_file() check and the PDO connection. Accepting this edge case is reasonable given the lack of a simple compatible fix.

This isn't atomic, right? Could we get an exclusive lock to avoid multiple requests getting here at the same time?

Well, actually it doesn't seem to matter here. 'c' won't damage the file.

@adamziel Right, 'c' won’t truncate an existing file. Multiple requests can reach this step, but the later BEGIN EXCLUSIVE call allows only one process to hold the storage lock at a time.

wait, aren't we already holding the lock? there's a lock() call a bit earlier in this method
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@adamziel This is only needed in a special case when the caller locked the storage before calling initialize() and expects it to remain locked afterwards. If the WordPress database doesn't exist yet, we'll only hold the storage lock (the special .ht.sqlite.lock database), but not the actual WordPress database lock.
This is the scenario:
$storage->lock(); // Database doesn't exist yet; locks storage only.
$storage->initialize(); // Creates the database and must lock it too (the second lock() call).
// Continue maintenance with both locks held.
$storage->unlock();I can make the second call conditional on $was_locked and add a comment explaining this edge case.

Yeah, let's add a comment. Thank you!

Releasing the database lock before The maintenance marker does not protect us from requests already running the old plugin code. I reproduced this by pausing between unlocking and renaming. Another process committed a row during that pause. Migration failed to lock the moved database, but the next initialization succeeded with the row missing. The old WAL file was still at the original location. Can we keep the legacy database in place until old requests have finished and can no longer open that path? I don’t think we should automatically move it while this can leave successfully saved changes behind. |
@adamziel Yes, in the migration path, there is a very narrow edge case where this could happen, but I'm not sure how likely it is in real-world scenarios. It seems to me there is no straightforward way to address it, because the connection must be closed so that the rename works in all environments.
I’m not sure how we can establish that all old requests have finished and can no longer open the legacy path. Do you have a solution in mind? Alternatively, should we first release the randomized storage just for new databases (in 3.1) and only later handle the migration path (e.g., in 3.2)? That would at least handle the portion of users who update regularly. |
Maybe a shared/exclusive |
Clarify that the second call locks the newly created database so callers can retain both locks for ongoing maintenance. Keep the locking behavior unchanged. #502 (comment)
Use htmlspecialchars with an explicit UTF-8 charset because esc_html reads options before the database and object cache are initialized. This allows storage initialization failures to return the intended HTTP 503 response.

Use native PHP path trimming so storage and custom DB_DIR settings work before WordPress loads its formatting helpers. Report CLI initialization failures through WP_CLI::error(), since wp_die() also depends on WordPress bootstrap. Cover initialization without WordPress helpers and early CLI errors, and remove helper stubs from storage subprocess tests. #502

Sensitive Data Exposure
Reachability: Internal
Exploitability: Difficult
CWE: CWE-532 — Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File
Log only the outer exception message.
Casting $exception to a string logs its stack trace. With exception arguments enabled and a sufficient zend.exception_string_param_max_len, PHP includes actual string arguments in that trace. A failure in ensure_database( $database_path ) can therefore disclose the randomized managed path. The repository marks this path as secret. The outer storage messages are path-free, so use getMessage() while retaining the full exception in the existing catch scope.

## Summary Add **`DB_PATH`** as the primary SQLite database setting for database connections, schema installation, Site Health, and storage lock placement. It cannot be combined with `DB_DIR`, `DB_FILE`, `FQDBDIR`, or `FQDB`. **Legacy settings remain supported when `DB_PATH` is absent**, but database paths and storage directories must be absolute. Storage under a secret randomized path remains the default. The drop-in then defines `DB_PATH` with the resolved path. Invalid values fail explicitly without falling back to another database. `WP_SQLite_Storage` now exposes `with_secret_path( $root )` and `with_explicit_path( $path )`, with a private constructor. Callers resolve the configuration before creating storage. In-memory databases (`:memory:`) require no filesystem storage or locking. ## Why A single full-path setting makes the active database easier to configure and identify. The older path constants are deprecated in PHPDoc while their behavior remains available for backward compatibility. Builds on #502. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **New Features** * Configure SQLite with an absolute `DB_PATH` or `:memory:`. When `DB_PATH` is not set, SQLite continues to use the default or legacy database path. * Legacy database settings are deprecated and cannot be combined with `DB_PATH`. * **Bug Fixes** * Invalid database paths are rejected rather than silently falling back to a legacy location. * Site-health reporting now reflects the selected database path and its size. * In-memory databases no longer require filesystem locking. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->
Use the existing installation-directory copy for SQLite databases. It already includes the database files and db-path.php, including the randomized directories introduced for SQLite Database Integration 3.1. Remove the separate fixed-filename snapshot and its validity and cleanup logic. Cache reuse now depends on the installation directory existing, so an incomplete copy within a suite no longer triggers a rebuild based on the missing snapshot. Each suite still starts with an empty cache. Add a focused regression test for path preservation and independent databases across a cold installation and two warm restores.

## Why Adminer hardcodes `/wordpress/wp-content/database/.ht.sqlite`, so it can open the wrong database when WordPress uses randomized storage or an explicit `DB_PATH`. ## What changes Use **Playground's runtime database metadata** for automatic login and database selection in both Core and Gutenberg sites. Playground records the path after WordPress initializes, preferring `DB_PATH` over legacy `FQDB`. Update the database guide accordingly. ## How to test this **Platforms:** macOS or Windows, using the current head. Local validation ran on Apple Silicon macOS. **Starting state:** An initialized Core or Gutenberg site using legacy fixed storage, randomized storage, or an explicit `DB_PATH`. The latter two require a SQLite integration build with the new storage support; set `DB_PATH` before WordPress first loads. 1. Click **Start dev server**, then **wp-admin**. Create a draft post with a distinctive title. 2. Click **DB inspect (Adminer)**. It should open without credentials and list the site's WordPress tables. 3. Find the draft in `wp_posts`. Adminer's database path should match the site's configured or generated SQLite path. 4. Repeat for the other launch mode and storage layouts. **What must not have happened:** Adminer must not select or create a second database at the old fixed path. ## Risks and limitations No new automated regression test is included; validation relies on the live checks below and Playground's existing metadata contract. Windows was not run locally. The interface is unchanged. <details> <summary>Validation details</summary> Tested WordPress 7.0.1 and bundled Adminer on Electron 43.6.0 in both Core document-root and Gutenberg plugin-mount modes. The latter used a small activation-probe plugin. Storage cases covered the bundled SQLite plugin, released SQLite integration 3.0.2, and revision `4163f69f3d543ec7d6085bbb0c4e0c36b36c0156` with randomized storage and explicit `DB_PATH`. The explicit path contained spaces and an apostrophe and overrode a conflicting `FQDB`. In every case, Adminer selected WordPress's active database and read an option written by WordPress. An app-level check clicked **Start dev server**, launched the real server child, and read the saved option through Adminer. Existing Node and Electron suites, lint, and the documentation build passed. </details> <details> <summary>Review outcome</summary> 0 [fix here] · 0 [follow-up].

## Release `3.1.0` Prepares the version numbers and release notes for `3.1.0`. **Changelog draft:** --- **SQLite Database Integration 3.1 is here! 🎉** This release improves **database storage and configuration** and fixes several MySQL compatibility issues. ## What's new Version 3.1 improves how WordPress sites store, locate, and protect their SQLite databases. It also fixes SQL behavior and export compatibility: - **Randomized database paths:** The default database location is now a randomized directory under `wp-content/database/`, recorded in `wp-content/database/db-path.php`. ([#502](#502)) - **`DB_PATH`:** Configure the database with one full-path constant, also available at runtime for integrations. ([#512](#512)) - **SQL compatibility:** Fix `IF()` condition evaluation and make `TRADITIONAL` enable its component SQL modes. ([#518](#518), [#509](#509)) - **WordPress table collations:** Default to `utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci` for new tables created with WordPress's charset settings, improving exports to MariaDB. Existing tables keep their recorded collation. ([#514](#514)) - **Documentation:** A new plugin README and expanded FAQ explain database storage and secure configuration. ([#520](#520)) For more information about database paths and secure configuration, read the [database storage guide](https://github.com/WordPress/sqlite-database-integration/blob/trunk/packages/plugin-sqlite-database-integration/README.md#database-storage). ## Upgrading to 3.1 Upgrading an existing SQLite site is straightforward: 1. **Back up** your SQLite database. 2. **Update the plugin** to version 3.1. Existing `.ht.sqlite` and `.ht.sqlite.php` databases move to the randomized layout automatically unless a database file path is explicitly configured. To properly **secure the database**, set `DB_PATH` in `wp-config.php` to an absolute file path outside the web root that your web server does not expose. Its directory must be writable by PHP. Changing `DB_PATH` does not move an existing database. ## Breaking changes Review these changes if you use custom database settings or integrations: - **Database paths:** Default database files now move to randomized paths under `wp-content/database/`. Explicitly configured file paths stay unchanged. Integrations, including backup and migration tools, must read `DB_PATH` after WordPress loads instead of assuming a fixed filename. - **Legacy constants:** `DB_DIR` and `DB_FILE` are now deprecated. They and the previously deprecated `FQDB` and `FQDBDIR` remain supported, but `DB_PATH` takes precedence. Conflicting values trigger warnings. - **Absolute paths:** Relative database file and directory paths are now rejected. `:memory:` remains available for in-memory databases. ## Thank you Thank you to everyone who contributed, tested, and helped update integrations. **Changes since 3.0.2:** [`v3.0.2...v3.1.0`](v3.0.2...v3.1.0) --- **PR comparison:** [`v3.0.2...release/v3.1.0`](v3.0.2...release/v3.1.0) ## Next steps 1. **Review** the release changes and changelog draft. 2. **Merge** this pull request to complete the release. Merging will automatically build the plugin ZIP, create a [GitHub release](https://github.com/WordPress/sqlite-database-integration/releases), and deploy to [WordPress.org](https://wordpress.org/plugins/sqlite-database-integration/).

Summary
Note
This is an alternative approach to #494. It keeps the same randomized storage design, but delegates coordination to SQLite's VFS and locking protocol through a dedicated SQLite database.
This PR adds randomized storage for SQLite databases as an additional layer of protection against direct web access.
db-path.phprecords the database location relative to the managed database root..ht.sqliteand.ht.sqlite.phpdatabases are moved to the randomized layout.:memory:continue to work unchanged.Managed storage
When no explicit database path is configured, the default layout is:
The
db-path.phpfile returns the database location using__DIR__, so copying or moving the completedatabasedirectory keeps the reference valid. If setup is interrupted after the path is published, another request can finish creating the protected directory and database.Storage locking
The storage implements a locking mechanism for initialization and maintenance. Locking uses a dedicated empty SQLite database and a maintenance file:
Legacy migration
Migration is serialized across concurrent requests. Before moving a legacy database, the storage manager checkpoints WAL data, switches to
DELETEjournal mode, and acquires an exclusive SQLite lock. If the database remains busy or migration otherwise fails, the original database file stays in place.Why
A SQLite database at a predictable location under the document root may be served directly when the web server does not honor
.htaccessor equivalent denial rules. The randomized directory makes accidental exposure substantially harder while retaining a stable discovery mechanism for WordPress and external tools.This is an additional safeguard, not a replacement for private storage. Keeping the database outside the document root or configuring the web server to deny access remains the strongest protection.
