# Connect extension 
 Connects the SQLite extension for the specified connection



`Function ConnectExtension(Val Extension, Val EntryPoint = "", Val Connection = "") Export`

  | Parameter | CLI option | Type | Required | Description |
  |-|-|-|-|-|
  | Extension | - | String, BinaryData | &#x2714; | Extension data or filepath |
  | EntryPoint | - | String | &#x2716; | Expansion entry point, if required |
  | Connection | - | String, Arbitrary | &#x2716; | Existing connection or path to the base. In memory, if not filled |

  
  Returns:  Map Of KeyAndValue - Result of extension connecting

:::tip
The extension is active only for the current connection. You must reconnect it each time a new connection is established

Similar to using the `Extensions` parameter (`exts` in CLI) of the `ExecuteSQLQuery` function

Parameters with Binary data type can also accept file paths on disk and URLs

:::caution
**NOCLI:** this method is not available in CLI version
