      <h1 class="dtH1">DbProviderFactories and You</h1>
      <p>One of the great new features of ADO.NET 2.0 is the use of reflection as a 
        means of instantiating database providers programmatically. The information 
        .NET uses to enumerate the available data providers in the system is relatively 
        simple. It merely looks in the machine.config and in your own app.config file for some XML data to tell it what providers are 
        installed and what assemblies those providers are in.
      </p>
      <h4>
        Scenario 1:&nbsp; Version Independent (does not use the Global Assembly Cache)</h4>
      <p>
        This method allows you to drop any new version of the System.Data.SQLite.DLL into
        your application's folder and use it without any code modifications or recompiling.&nbsp;
        Add the following code to your app.config file:</p>
      <div class="syntax">
        <PRE>&lt;configuration&gt;
  &lt;system.data&gt;
    &lt;DbProviderFactories&gt;
      &lt;remove invariant="System.Data.SQLite"/&gt;
      &lt;add name="SQLite Data Provider" invariant="System.Data.SQLite"
           description=".Net Framework Data Provider for SQLite"<br />           type="System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteFactory, System.Data.SQLite" /&gt;
    &lt;/DbProviderFactories&gt;
  &lt;/system.data&gt;
&lt;/configuration&gt;
</PRE>
      </div>
      <h4>
        Scenario 2:&nbsp; Version Dependent, using either the DLL located in the same folder
        as the application or the Global Assembly Cache</h4>
      <p>
        This method expands on the above XML to provide the version number and key token
        of the SQLite DLL so it can be found either in the same folder as the application
        or looked up in the GAC.&nbsp; The downside to this method is that DbProviderFactories
        will use this version information to only load the version specified.&nbsp; This
        means if you update the DLL, you must also update this XML.</p>
      <div class="syntax">
        <PRE>
&lt;configuration&gt;
  &lt;system.data&gt;
    &lt;DbProviderFactories&gt;
      &lt;remove invariant="System.Data.SQLite"/&gt;
      &lt;add name="SQLite Data Provider" invariant="System.Data.SQLite" 
           description=".Net Framework Data Provider for SQLite"
           type="System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteFactory, System.Data.SQLite,
                 Version=1.0.25.0, Culture=neutral,
                 PublicKeyToken=db937bc2d44ff139"/&gt;
    &lt;/DbProviderFactories&gt;
  &lt;/system.data&gt;
&lt;/configuration&gt;
</pre>
      </div>
      <p>
        The following C# code demonstrates 
        instantiating SQLite through DbProviderFactories:</p>
      <div class="syntax"><pre>      DbProviderFactory fact = DbProviderFactories.GetFactory("System.Data.SQLite");
      using (DbConnection cnn = fact.CreateConnection())
      {
        cnn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=test.db3";
        cnn.Open();
      }</pre>

      <h1 class="dtH1">Installing SQLite Visual Studio Design-Time Support</h1>
      <p>Supporting the Visual Studio query designer and allowing you to manipulate 
        SQLite databases from within Visual Studio is a great time-saver.&nbsp; Though 
        the support is not yet fully-implemented, there's certainly enough there to 
        keep you busy.&nbsp; You can create databases, design and execute queries, 
        create typed datasets and lots more all from Visual Studio.</p>
      <h3> Installation Instructions</h3>
      <p>
        In Windows Explorer, navigate to <STRONG>SQLite.Net\bin\Designer</STRONG>
        and execute the <STRONG>INSTALL.EXE</STRONG> program.&nbsp; It will automatically
        detect what eligible Visual Studio products are installed, and allow you to check
        and uncheck which environments to install the designer for.</p>
      <h3> Express Edition Limitations</h3>
      <p>All Express Editions (except Visual Web Developer) are hard-coded to only allow you to design for Jet and Sql Server Database Files.&nbsp; The only way for SQLite
        to install its designer is to temporarily replace one of the existing "approved"
        designers.&nbsp; Therefore, when you install the SQLite designer for one of these
        express editions, it will temporarily replace the Microsoft Access designer.&nbsp;
        You can revert back to the Access designer simply by re-running the install.exe
        program and un-checking the boxes.</p>

      <h1 class="dtH1">Limitations of this ADO.NET SQLite Data Provider</h1>
      <p>As providers go, this one doesn't have many restrictions. SQLite has no 
        support for row-level or table-level locks. Therefore when a DataReader is 
        active the database cannot be written to, and when the database is open for 
        writing no DataReaders can be open. The SQLite.NET provider attempts to retry 
        internally if a database is locked, up to the CommandTimeout property of the 
        command in question.</p>
      <p>SQLite is inherently type-less, and only understands a few basic datatypes 
        natively. They are (in .NET-speak) Int64, Double, String and Blob. The 
        SQLite.NET provider will use the database schema information it can glean to 
        enforce type-ness, but it is an inexact science.</p>
      <p>Nested transactions and hierarchical DataReaders are not supported. In the 
        case of transactions, any SQLiteCommand created on a connection will (when 
        executed) automatically join a transaction in progress, regardless of whether 
        that transaction was created before or after the command.</p>
      <p>A SQLiteCommand object <b>can</b> be re-assigned a new SQLiteConnection object 
        as long as no DataReaders are active on the command.</p>
      <p>Opening a transaction is considered a write operation, so only use them when 
        you want to write to the database! If you hold open a transaction, all readers 
        will be blocked until the transaction is closed!</p>
      <p></p>
      <h4 class="dtH4">Thread Safety</h4>
      <p>Multi-threading in SQLite must be done carefully. Here are the restrictions:</p>
      <ul>
        <li>
          <b>You May</b>
        Clone() a SQLiteConnection object in one thread and pass the cloned object to 
        another thread. Once passed, the other thread becomes the new owner of the 
        cloned connection, and the original thread must not keep a reference to the 
        clone or call any methods on the clone.
        <LI>
          <STRONG>You May</STRONG>
        create multiple threads, and those threads can create their own 
        SQLiteConnection and subsequent objects for accessing a database.&nbsp; 
        Multiple connections on multiple threads to the same database file are 
        perfectly&nbsp;acceptable&nbsp;and will behave predictably.&nbsp;
        <li>
          <b>You May NOT</b>
        call methods or properties or otherwise reference any SQLite provider classes 
        that belong to another thread.
        <li>
          <b>You May NOT</b> pass a SQLiteCommand, SQLiteDataReader, SQLiteDataAdapter or 
          any other SQLite provider class except a cloned SQLiteConnection to another 
          thread.</li>
      </ul>
      <p>Understand again that SQLite has no fine-grained locking mechanisms. It is 
        therefore your own responsibility in a multi-threaded environment to handle 
        potential timeouts that may occur if a long-running query in one thread 
        prevents a query in another thread from executing. These timeouts will only 
        occur if one thread is attempting to read while another thread is attempting to 
        write. Whichever thread got its lock first will be the one to execute, and the 
        other thread will block until the CommandTimeout value elapses or the other 
        thread finishes.</p>

        affected by the kinds of SQL behaviors you may have taken for granted in other 
        providers. It is by no means a complete optimization guide. For even more

          NOT PASS GO! Call BeginTransaction() right now, and finish with Commit()!</b> 
        If you think I'm kidding, think again. SQLite's A.C.I.D. design means that 
        every single time you insert any data outside a transaction, an implicit 
        transaction is constructed, the insert made, and the transaction destructed. <b>EVERY 
          TIME.</b> If you're wondering why in the world your inserts are taking 100x 
        longer than you think they should, look no further.</p>
      <h4 class="dtH4">Prepared Statements</h4>
      <p>Lets have a quick look at the following code and evaluate its performance:</p>
      <div class="syntax">
        <pre>
      using (SQLiteCommand mycommand = new SQLiteCommand(myconnection))
      {
        int n;
        
        for (n = 0; n < 100000; n ++)
        {
          mycommand.CommandText = String.Format("INSERT INTO [MyTable] ([MyId]) VALUES({0})", n + 1);
          mycommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
        }
      }</pre>
      </div>
      <p>This code seems pretty tight, but if you think it performs well, you're dead 
        wrong. Here's what's wrong with it:</p>
      <ul>
        <li>
          I didn't start a transaction first! This insert is dog slow!</li>
        <li>
          The CLR is calling "new" implicitly 100,000 times because I am formatting a 
          string in the loop for every insert</li>
        <li>
          Since SQLite precompiles SQL statements, the engine is constructing and 
          deconstructing 100,000 SQL statements and allocating/deallocating their memory</li>
        <li>
          All this construction and destruction is involving about 300,000 more native to 
          managed interop calls than an optimized insert</li>
      </ul>
      <p>So lets rewrite that code slightly:</p>
      <div class="syntax">
        <pre>
      using (SQLiteTransaction mytransaction = myconnection.BeginTransaction())
      {
        using (SQLiteCommand mycommand = new SQLiteCommand(myconnection))
        {
          SQLiteParameter myparam = new SQLiteParameter();
          int n;
        
          mycommand.CommandText = "INSERT INTO [MyTable] ([MyId]) VALUES(?)";
          mycommand.Parameters.Add(myparam);
          
          for (n = 0; n < 100000; n ++)
          {
            myparam.Value = n + 1;
            mycommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
          }
        }
        mytransaction.Commit();
      } </pre>
      </div>
      <p>Now this is a blazing fast insert for <b><i>any</i></b> database engine, not 
        just SQLite. The SQL statement is prepared one time -- on the first call to 
        ExecuteNonQuery(). Once prepared, it never needs re-evaluating. Furthermore, 
        we're allocating no memory in the loop and doing a very minimal number of 
        interop transitions. Surround the entire thing with a transaction, and the 
        performance of this insert is so far and away faster than the original that it 
        merits a hands-on-the-hips pirate-like laugh.</p>
      <p>Every database engine worth its salt utilizes prepared statements. If you're 
        not coding for this, you're not writing optimized SQL, and that's the bottom 
        line.
      </p>

    <p><b>1.0.26.0 - February 10, 2006</b></p>
    <ul>
    <li>Code merge with SQLite 3.3.4</li><li>Fixed an encryption bug when changing the password of databases over 1gb in
      size.&nbsp;</li><li>Fixed various designer issues related to construction of named parameters.&nbsp;</li><li>Implemented the SourceColumnNullMapping property of SQLiteParameter to fix
    a DbCommandBuilder code generation bug.&nbsp;</li><li>Removed the runtime dependency on MSVCR80.DLL.&nbsp; File size is somewhat
    larger for the varying desktop versions, but the Compact Framework version remains
    the same.</li><li>Created an install program to manage installation and uninstallation of the
    SQLite design-time support.</li>
      <li>Designer support now works for all Visual Studio editions, including all Express
        Editions.</li>
      <li>Design-time installer will now remove (if present) the machine.config SQLite entries
        in favor of installing the xml code into the devenv.exe.config file (or any of the
        variations for express editions).&nbsp; The officially-accepted behavior of using
        DbProviderFactories is to add the code to your app.config file, and the machine.config
        file should not be touched.</li>
    </ul>
    <p><b>1.0.25.0 - January 31, 2006</b></p>
    <ul>
    <li>Code merge with SQLite 3.3.3</li><li>Added automatic distributed transaction enlistment and implemented the DbConnection.EnlistTransaction
    method for manual enlistment.</li>
      <li>Nested transactions are now supported.</li>
      <li>Rearranged the timing of SetPassword(), which now must be called before the database
        is opened instead of afterwards.&nbsp; Optionally, the password can be supplied
        in the ConnectionString.</li>
      <li>Fixed a bug in SQLiteFunction that caused a failure when an empty resultset was
        returned and a custom user aggregate function was used in the query.</li>
      <li>The designer has had another round of cleanup applied, in preparation for moving
        to a VS package.</li>
      <li>Added SQLiteMetaDataCollectionNames class.</li>
    </ul>
    <p><b>1.0.24.6 beta - January 23, 2006</b></p>
    <ul>
    <li>This beta is built from sqlite.org's 3.3.2 beta.</li><li>Eliminated the static linking of mscoree from all binaries.&nbsp; Native projects
      can now use the library without any dependencies on the .NET framework, while managed
      projects continue to be able to use the library normally.</li></ul>
    <p><b>1.0.24.5 beta - January 20, 2006</b></p>
    <ul>
    <li>This beta is built from sqlite.org's 3.3.1 alpha and contains development-in-progress code.&nbsp; Therefore no guarantees
      can be made regarding its suitability for production use.</li>
    <li><strong>You no longer need to distribute 2 files on the CompactFramework.&nbsp;
      You can delete SQLite.Interop.DLL entirely.&nbsp; </strong>I wrote a custom tool
      called "mergebin" (available in the source zip file) which combines the two libraries
      and gets around a glaring defect in the VS2005 linker for ARM processors which doesn't
      allow you to link netmodules.</li>
      <li><strong>x64 and ia64 builds now use the same strong name as the x86 build.</strong>&nbsp;
        This means breaking backward compatibility, but it was necessary in order to allow
        you to drop any of those 3 builds onto a PC and have your .NET program run properly.&nbsp;
        Prior to this, you'd get an error if you built your program using the x86 build,
        and then installed the x64 version on a target machine and tried to run your program
        against it.</li>
      <li>The entire source project has been gone over top to bottom.&nbsp; A debug build
        no longer combines the binaries into a single module, which was preventing proper
        debugging.</li></ul>
    <p><b>1.0.24.4 beta - January 16, 2006</b></p>
    <ul>
    <li>This beta is built from sqlite.org's 3.3.1 alpha and contains development-in-progress code.&nbsp; Therefore no guarantees
      can be made regarding its suitability for production use.</li>
    <li>Fixed a bug in the UTF-16 handling code for preparing statements due to a behavioral
      change in SQLite 3.3.0.</li>
      <li>Added pager.c code necessary to cleanup after an encrypted file is closed.</li>
      <li>Fixed an encryption bug that caused a fault when an encrypted file was rolled
        back.</li>
      <li>Modified the testcase code to take advantage of optimizations regarding the use
        of a DbCommandBuilder.&nbsp; DataAdapter insert speed increased dramatically as
        a result.</li>
    </ul>
    <p><b>1.0.24.3 beta - January 10, 2006</b></p>
    <ul>
    <li>This beta is built from sqlite.org's CVS HEAD (as it appeared at of the date of
      this beta) and contains development-in-progress code.&nbsp; Therefore no guarantees
      can be made regarding its suitability for production use.</li><li>Added support for database encryption at the pager level.&nbsp; Databases
    are encrypted using a 128-bit RC4 stream algorithm.&nbsp; To open an existing encrypted
    database, you may now specify a "Password={password}" text in the ConnectionString,
    or you may call the SQLiteConnection.SetPassword() function to set the password
    on an open connection. &nbsp;To encrypt existing non-encrypted databases or to change
    the password on an encrypted database, you must use the SQLiteConnection.ChangePassword()
    function.&nbsp; If you use SetPassword() instead of specifying a password in the
    connection string, or call ChangePassword() you may use a binary byte array or a
    text string as the password.</li>
      <li>Rewrote the locking implementation for the Compact Framework.&nbsp; It is now
        more robust and incorporates into the SQLite codebase more efficiently than the
        previous CE adaptation.</li>
      <li>Moved some of the embedded schema XML data into a resource file to ease code readability.</li>
      <li>Automated the fixup of the original sqlite codebase's source prior to compiling,
        to ease merging with sqlite.org's source.&nbsp;</li>
    </ul>
    <p><b>1.0.24.2 - December 30, 2005</b></p>
    <ul>
    <li>Fixed the SQLiteDataReader.HasRows property to return the proper value.</li>
      <li>Implemented the inadvertently neglected RecordsAffected property on SQLiteDataReader.
      </li>
      <li>SQLiteFunction static constructor was changed to pre-filter classes with only the
        SQLiteFunctionAttribute.&nbsp; The code was throwing an exception when certain
        assemblies were referenced in a project. </li>
      <li>Fixed the SQLiteDataAdapter OnRowUpdated event, which was using the wrong variable
        to find the attached event handler and subsequently not raising the event.</li>
      <li>Small optimizations and fixes to SQLiteDataReader.NextResult().&nbsp;</li>

      <li>Enhanced transactions to allow for a deferred or immediate writelock. &nbsp;SQLiteConnection.BeginTransaction()
        now has an additional overload to support it </li>
      <li>Commands are now prepared as they are executed instead of beforehand.&nbsp; This
      fixes a bug whereby a multi-statement command that alters the database and subsequently
      references the altered data would fail during Prepare().</li><li>Tightened up the SQLiteDataReader to prevent reading columns before calling
    the first Read() and to prevent reading columns after the last Read().</li>
      <li>A more descriptive error is thrown if there aren't enough parameters in the command

    <li>Named parameters may now begin with <strong>@</strong> to ease portability of
      the provider. SQLite's named parameters are ordinarily prefixed with a <strong>: </strong>
      or<strong> $</strong>.&nbsp; The designer will still use the <strong>$</strong>
      prefix however, since its more compatible with the default SQLite engine.</li><li>Added several alternate ISO8601 date/time formats to SQLiteConvert.cs to increase
    compatibility.</li>
      <li>Relaxed coersion restrictions to work better with SQLite's inherent typelessenss.&nbsp;</li>

      <li>Compiled against the RTM version of VS2005. </li>
      <li>Rewrote the design-time install script to use the XML DOM objects when writing
        to the machine.config and to automatically register the DLL in the GAC.</li>

        Bugfixes and enhancements to several schema types

        Additional design-time support to include index and foreign key

        typed datasets to automatically link up foreign keys, use indexes, and 
        automatically generate relationships from the schema.<li>
          Additional static methods on SQLiteConnection to create a database file, 
          encrypt a file using the Encrypted File System (EFS) on NTFS (requires NT 2K or

        Fixed a bug in the SQLiteDataAdapter due to insufficient implementation of the 
        class.&nbsp; The RowUpdating and RowUpdated events are now properly 
        implemented, but unfortunately inserting and updating data in a DataTable or 
        DataSet is now much slower.&nbsp; This is the proper design however, so the 
        changes are here to stay.
        <LI>
        Lots of schema changes to support Visual Studio's Data Designer architecture.<li>Added 
          Designer support for the provider.&nbsp; It's not 100%, but you can design 
          queries, add typed datasets and perform quite a number of tasks all within

            Full support for the Compact Framework.&nbsp; Each build (Debug/Release) now

          Modified SQLite3.Reset() and Step() functions to transparently handle timeouts

          Fixed a bug in SQLiteStatement.cs that retrieved parameter names for a

        Due to the presence of the altered sqlite3 codebase and so many added interop 
        functions, I decided to rename the sqlite3 C project and the DLL to 
        SQLite.Interop.DLL.&nbsp; This is the same core sqlite3 codebase but designed 
        specifically for this ADO.NET provider.&nbsp; This eliminates any possibility 
        of someone dropping another build of sqlite3.dll into the system and rendering 
        the provider inoperable.&nbsp; In the future if the folks at sqlite.org finally 
        introduce a method of retrieving column usage for an arbitrary prepared 
        statement, I'll retool this library to be a lightweight function call wrapper 
        around the core binary distribution.
        <LI>
        Added [SuppressUnmanagedCodeSecurity] attribute to the UnsafeNativeMethods 
        class which brings VS2005 November CTP execution speeds inline with the

      <h1 class="dtH1">About SQLite.NET</h1>
      <p>This class library is an ADO.NET 2.0 wrapper around the popular (and free!) 
        SQLite database engine. For information on SQL syntax, features of SQLite and a 
        good understanding of how it works and what it does, I highly recommend heading 
        over to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sqlite.org">sqlite.org</a> and 
        reading the documentation there.</p>
      <P>The C# provider, the very minor C code modifications to SQLite, documentation and 
        etc&nbsp;were written by <A href="mailto:robert@blackcastlesoft.com">Robert 
          Simpson</A>, and the SourceForge project page can be found <A target="_blank" href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlite-dotnet2">

      <h1 class="dtH1">SQLite.NET Provider Features</h1>
      <p>This SQLite provider implements every feature of the underlying SQLite 
        database engine without omission. Here's a brief summary:</p><div>
      <UL>
        <LI>
        Written from scratch on VS2005 specifically for ADO.NET 2.0, implenting all the
        base classes and features recently introduced in the framework, including automatic
        transaction enlistment.<li>Supports the Full and Compact .NET Framework, as well as
          native C/C++ development.&nbsp; 100% binary compatible with the original sqlite3.dll.
        </li>
        <li>
        On the Compact Framework, it is faster than the newly-introduced Sql Server Mobile.
          SQLite's installed size is a fraction of Sql Mobile's. It uses less memory at runtime,
          runs queries faster, and has a smaller database file size as well. </li>
        <li>Encrypted database support.&nbsp; Encrypted databases are fully encrypted and
          support both binary and cleartext password types. </li>
        <li>Visual Studio 2005 Design-Time Support.&nbsp; You can add a SQLite 
        database to the Servers list, design queries with the Query Designer, 
        drag-and-drop tables onto a Typed DataSet, etc. </li>
        <li>
        Single file redistributable.&nbsp; The core sqlite3 codebase and the ADO.NET wrapper 
        are combined into one multi-module assembly. </li>
        <li>Binaries included for Itanium, x64, x86 and ARM processors. </li>
        <li>
        DbProviderFactory support. </li>
        <li>
          Full support for ATTACH'ed databases.&nbsp; Exposed as <i>Catalogs</i>
        in the schema.&nbsp; When cloning a connection, all attached databases are 
        automatically re-attached to the new connection. </li>
        <li>
          DbConnection.GetSchema(...) support includes the <i>MetaDataCollections</i>, <i>
          DataSourceInformation</i>, <i>Columns</i>, <i>Tables</i>, <i>Views, ViewColumns, </i>
          <i>Catalogs, </i><i>Indexes, 
            IndexColumns </i>and <em>ForeignKeys</em>
        keywords.
        </li>
        <li>
        Enhanced DbDataReader.GetSchemaTable() functionality returns catalog, namespace 
        and detailed schema information even for complex queries. </li>
        <li>
        Named and unnamed parameters. </li>
        <li>
        Full UTF-8 and UTF-16 support, each with optimized pipelines into the native 
        database core. </li>
        <li>
        Multiple simultaneous DataReaders (one DataReader per Command however). </li>
        <li>
        Full support for user-defined scalar and aggregate functions, encapsulated into 
        an easy-to-use base class in which only a couple of overrides are necessary to 
        implement new SQL functions. </li>
        <li>
        Full support for user-defined collating sequences, every bit as simple to 
        implement as user-defined functions and uses the same base class. </li>
        <li>
          Full source for the entire engine and wrapper.&nbsp; No copyrights.&nbsp; 
          Public Domain.&nbsp; 100% free for commercial and non-commercial use.&nbsp;</li>
      </UL>
        </div>
      <br>
      <h1 class="dtH1">Distributing the Binaries</h1>
      <p><b>System.Data.SQLite.DLL</b> is a mixed assembly signed with a strong name 
        in case you want to add it to the Global Assembly Cache (GAC). This is the only DLL required to be redistributed with 
        your SQLite.NET application(s).&nbsp; It 
        comes in&nbsp;4
        flavors: Win32, Itanium, X64 (AMD64) and ARM (Compact Framework).&nbsp; The Compact
        Framework library is signed with a separate strong name, but all the other
        versions share the same strong name so they can be interchanged where appropriate without
        any change to your application.</p>

    <ul>
    <li>Code merge with SQLite 3.3.4</li><li>Fixed an encryption bug when changing the password of databases over 1gb in
      size.&nbsp;</li><li>Fixed various designer issues related to construction of named parameters.&nbsp;</li><li>Implemented the SourceColumnNullMapping property of SQLiteParameter to fix
    a DbCommandBuilder code generation bug.&nbsp;</li><li>Removed the runtime dependency on MSVCR80.DLL.&nbsp; File size is somewhat
    larger for the varying desktop versions, but the Compact Framework version remains
    the same.</li><li>Created an install program to manage installation and uninstallation of the
    SQLite design-time support.</li>
      <li>Designer support now works for all Visual Studio editions, including all Express
        Editions.</li>
      <li>Design-time installer will now remove (if present) the machine.config SQLite entries
        in favor of installing the xml code into the devenv.exe.config file (or any of the
        variations for express editions).&nbsp; The officially-accepted behavior of using
        DbProviderFactories is to add the code to your app.config file, and the machine.config
        file should not be touched.</li>
