# Async SQLite for Workflow

> Store workflow sessions and run history asynchronously in SQLite with AsyncSqliteDb.

`AsyncSqliteDb` stores a Workflow's sessions and run history asynchronously in SQLite. Use async Workflow methods such as `arun()` and `aprint_response()`.

## Usage

Install the `sqlalchemy` asyncio extra, `aiosqlite`, `openai`, and `ddgs`:

```shell theme={null}
uv pip install "sqlalchemy[asyncio]" aiosqlite openai ddgs
```

`AsyncSqliteDb` uses an async `db_engine`, then `db_url`, then `db_file`. A `db_url` must use an async driver such as `sqlite+aiosqlite`. If none is provided, it creates `agno.db` in the current directory. The following example uses `db_file`.

```python async_sqlite_for_workflow.py theme={null}
import asyncio

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.db.sqlite import AsyncSqliteDb
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIResponses
from agno.team import Team
from agno.tools.hackernews import HackerNewsTools
from agno.tools.websearch import WebSearchTools
from agno.workflow.step import Step
from agno.workflow.workflow import Workflow

db = AsyncSqliteDb(db_file="tmp/workflow.db")

hackernews_agent = Agent(
    name="HackerNews Agent",
    model=OpenAIResponses(id="gpt-5.2"),
    tools=[HackerNewsTools()],
    role="Extract key insights and content from HackerNews posts",
)
web_agent = Agent(
    name="Web Agent",
    model=OpenAIResponses(id="gpt-5.2"),
    tools=[WebSearchTools()],
    role="Search the web for the latest news and trends",
)
content_planner = Agent(
    name="Content Planner",
    model=OpenAIResponses(id="gpt-5.2"),
    instructions=[
        "Plan a content schedule over 4 weeks for the provided topic and research content",
        "Ensure that I have posts for 3 posts per week",
    ],
)

research_team = Team(
    name="Research Team",
    members=[hackernews_agent, web_agent],
    instructions="Research tech topics from HackerNews and the web",
)

research_step = Step(
    name="Research Step",
    team=research_team,
)
content_planning_step = Step(
    name="Content Planning Step",
    agent=content_planner,
)
content_creation_workflow = Workflow(
    name="Content Creation Workflow",
    description="Automated content creation from blog posts to social media",
    db=db,
    steps=[research_step, content_planning_step],
)

async def main():
    try:
        await content_creation_workflow.aprint_response(
            input="Recent AI trends",
            markdown=True,
        )
    finally:
        await db.close()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
```
