The release history for the System.Data.SQLite project is [./news.wiki | here]. </p> <hr> <a name="q2"></a> <p> <b>(2) When are you planning on adding feature "X"?</b> </p> <p> This question is hard to answer precisely. It depends on a number of factors, including but not limited to: <ul> <li> Can the feature be implemented in a backward compatible manner? </li> <li> Can the feature be implemented in a portable fashion for all the currently supported versions of the .NET Framework and/or Visual Studio? </li> <li> Does the feature fit well with the current design of the project? </li> <li> How much time will it take to design, implement, and test the feature? </li> <li> Will the feature benefit the entire community or only a tiny subset thereof? </li> </ul> </p> <hr> <a name="q3"></a> <p> <b>(3) What versions of .NET Framework are supported?</b> </p> <p> <ul> <li> The .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 (or higher) for the System.Data.SQLite assembly. </li> <li> The .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 (or higher) for the System.Data.SQLite.Linq assembly. </li> <li> All sub-projects are fully supported with the .NET Framework 4.0. </li> </ul> </p> <hr> <a name="q4"></a> <p> <b>(4) What versions of Visual Studio are supported?</b> </p> <p> Currently, Visual Studio 2005, 2008, and 2010 are supported, including the "Express" editions; however, in order to build the entire solution, including the necessary native code, the "Professional" edition (or higher) is required. It may be possible to install both Visual C# Express and Visual C++ Express and then build the corresponding sub-projects via their respective integrated development environments (IDE); however, this configuration has <b>not</b> been tested. The design-time components are <b>no longer</b> supported for the Express editions due to licensing restrictions. </p> <hr> <a name="q5"></a> <p> <b>(5) Is there a NuGet package?</b> </p> <p> Yes, the following official NuGet packages are available: <ul> <li> <a href="http://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Data.SQLite"> System.Data.SQLite</a>: The SQLite database engine combined with a complete ADO.NET provider all rolled into a single mixed-mode assembly for x86. </li> <li> <a href="http://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Data.SQLite.x86"> System.Data.SQLite.x86</a>: This currently contains the same content as the "System.Data.SQLite" package, above. </li> <li> <a href="http://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Data.SQLite.x64"> System.Data.SQLite.x64</a>: The SQLite database engine combined with a complete ADO.NET provider all rolled into a single mixed-mode assembly for x64. </li> <li> <a href="http://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Data.SQLite.MSIL"> System.Data.SQLite.MSIL</a>: Just the ADO.NET provider for SQLite (managed-only). </li> </ul> </p> <hr> <a name="q6"></a> <p> <b>(6) How do I build the binaries for Mono?</b> </p> <p> This is documented on the [./build.wiki#mono | build procedures] page. </p> <hr> <a name="q7"></a> <p> <b>(7) How do I build the binaries for .NET Compact Framework?</b> </p> <p> This is documented on the [./release.wiki#buildCeBinaries | release procedures] page. </p> <hr> <a name="q8"></a> <p> <b>(8) How do I install System.Data.SQLite on a development machine?</b> </p> <p> Strictly speaking, there is no need to install System.Data.SQLite on any development machine (e.g. via the setup). The recommended way to use the assemblies is: <ul> <li> Download the precompiled binary package for your target framework and processor architecture (e.g. 32-bit x86, .NET Framework 2.0). </li> <li> Extract the package to a directory named "Externals" inside your project directory. </li> <li> Add a reference to the "System.Data.SQLite" assembly from the "Externals" directory. </li> <li> If necessary (i.e. you require LINQ support), also add a reference to the "System.Data.SQLite.Linq" assembly from the "Externals" directory. </li> </ul> Alternatively, when using Visual Studio 2010, you can simply use the NuGet package that corresponds to your target processor architecture. Installing the assemblies into the Global Assembly Cache is not recommended as it may cause conflicts with other applications installed on the machine. </p> <hr> <a name="q9"></a> <p> <b>(9) How do I install System.Data.SQLite on end-user machines?</b> </p> <p> Strictly speaking, there is no need to install System.Data.SQLite on any end-user machine (e.g. via the setup). The recommended way to deploy the assemblies is "application local" (i.e. copy them to the directory the application is installed to). Installing the assemblies into the Global Assembly Cache is not recommended as it may cause conflicts with other applications installed on the machine. </p> <hr> <a name="q10"></a> <p> <b>(10) Do I need to add an assembly reference to the "sqlite3.dll" or "SQLite.Interop.dll" in my project?</b> </p> <p> No, because they are not managed assemblies and contain no managed code. </p> <hr> <a name="q11"></a> <p> <b>(11) Why do I get a <b>DllNotFoundException</b> (for "sqlite3.dll" or "SQLite.Interop.dll") when trying to run my application?</b> </p> <p> Either the named dynamic link library (DLL) cannot be located or it cannot be loaded due to missing dependencies. Make sure the named dynamic link library is located in the application directory or a directory along the system PATH and try again. Also, be sure the necessary Visual C++ runtime redistributable has been installed unless you are using a dynamic link library that was built statically linked to it. </p> <hr> <a name="q12"></a> <p> <b>(12) Why do I get a BadImageFormatException (for "sqlite3.dll" or "SQLite.Interop.dll") when trying to run my application?</b> </p> <p> The named dynamic link library (DLL) contains native code that was built for a processor architecture that is not compatible with the current process (e.g. you cannot load a 32-bit dynamic link library into a 64-bit process or vice-versa). Another explanation is that the named dynamic link library was built for a later version of the CLR than is available in the current process (e.g. you cannot load an assembly built for the .NET Framework 4.0 into a .NET Framework 2.0 process, regardless of the processor architecture). </p> <hr> <a name="q13"></a> <p> <b>(13) Why do I get the error "This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded."?</b> </p> <p> Because the assembly was built for the .NET Framework 4.0 and you are trying to load it into a process that is using the .NET Framework 2.0. </p> <hr> <a name="q14"></a> <p> <b>(14) What is a mixed-mode assembly?</b> </p> <p> A mixed-mode assembly is a dynamic link library that contains both managed and native code for a particular processor architecture. Since it contains native code it can only be loaded into a process that matches the processor architecture it was compiled for. Also see this <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7266936/what-is-a-mixed-mode-assembly">StackOverflow question</a>. </p> <hr> <a name="q15"></a> <p> <b>(15) What is a "bundle" package (i.e. from the download page)?</b> </p> <p> The "bundle" packages listed on the download page contains the System.Data.SQLite mixed-mode assembly in a file named "System.Data.SQLite.dll" (see <a href="#q14">question #14</a>) instead of separate "System.Data.SQLite.dll" and "SQLite.Interop.dll" files to contain the managed and native code, respectively. </p> <hr> <a name="q16"></a> <p> <b>(16) What is the difference between the "Setup" and "Precompiled Binary" packages (i.e. from the download page)?</b> </p> <p> The "Setup" packages are designed to install the necessary files, optionally installing the assemblies into the Global Assembly Cache, generating native images for the managed assemblies via Ngen, adding Start Menu shortcuts, modifying the .NET Framework machine configuration files to register the ADO.NET provider, and installing the design-time components for Visual Studio. The "Precompiled Binary" packages are simply ZIP files that contain all the binaries compiled for a particular .NET Framework and processor architecture. </p> <hr> <a name="q17"></a> <p> <b>(17) Why is System.Data.SQLite leaking memory, resources, etc?</b> </p> <p> All System.Data.SQLite objects that implement IDisposable, either directly or indirectly, should be explicitly disposed when they are no longer needed. If this is the case and you are still seeing a leak of some kind, please file a <a href="/index.html/tktnew">ticket</a>. </p> <hr> <a name="q18"></a> <p> <b>(18) What are the support options for System.Data.SQLite?</b> </p> <p> This is discussed on the [./support.wiki | support] page. </p> |
