ADO.NET 2.0 SQLite Data Provider<br />
Version 1.0.73.0 June 2, 2011<br />
Using SQLite 3.7.6.3 <a href="http://www.sqlite.org/src/info/ed1da510a2">[ed1da510a2]</a><br />
Originally written by Robert Simpson<br />
Released to the public domain, use at your own risk!<br />
Official provider website:&nbsp; <a href="http://system.data.sqlite.org">http://system.data.sqlite.org</a><br />
Legacy versions:&nbsp; <a href="http://sqlite.phxsoftware.com">http://sqlite.phxsoftware.com</a><br />
<br />
The current development version can be downloaded from <a href="http://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/timeline?n=20&y=ci">
http://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/timeline?n=20&y=ci</a>
<br />
<br />

<h2><b>Features</b></h2>

<ul>

<li>Written from scratch on VS2008 specifically for ADO.NET 2.0, implementing all
the base classes and features recently introduced in the framework, including automatic




transaction enlistment.<li>Supports the Full and Compact .NET Framework, and native
C/C++ development.&nbsp; 100% binary compatible with the original sqlite3.dll.<br />
<font color="red">Compact framework not currently not included. We hope to have
this feature included again soon.</font></li>


<li>Full support for Mono via a &quot;managed only&quot; provider that runs against
the official SQLite 3.6.1 or higher library.</li>


<li>Full Entity Framework support (ADO.NET 3.5 SP1)</li>


<li>On the Compact Framework, it is faster than 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. <font color="red">Compact
framework not currently not included. We hope to have this feature included again
soon.</font>


<li>Encrypted database support.&nbsp; Encrypted databases are fully encrypted and
support both binary and cleartext password types.</li>

<li>Visual Studio 2005/2008 Design-Time Support, works with all versions of VS2005/2008,
including all Express Editions of VS2005.&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>Full SQLite schema editing inside Visual Studio.&nbsp;
You can create/edit tables, views, triggers, indexes, check constraints and foreign
keys.<br />
<font color="red">Currently not included.  We are still updating the Design-Time
support installer.</font>
</li>




















<li>Single file redistributable (except on Compact Framework).&nbsp; The core
sqlite3 codebase and the ADO.NET wrapper are combined into one multi-module assembly.<br />
<font color="red">Currently all versions provided as System.Data.SQLite.dll and SQLite.Interop.dll.
This provides consistency across all packages, including Compact and Mono.</font>

</li>


<li>Binaries included for Itanium, x64, x86 and ARM processors.<br />

<font color="red">Currently only x64 and x86 included.  

We hope to have more processors included again soon.</font>
</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 <i>ReservedWords, MetaDataCollections</i>,
<i>DataSourceInformation</i>, <i>DataTypes, Columns</i>, <i>Tables</i>, <i>Views,
ViewColumns, </i><i>Catalogs, </i><i>Indexes, IndexColumns, </i><em>ForeignKeys

</em>and<em> Triggers</em>.



<li>Enhanced DbDataReader.GetSchemaTable() functionality returns catalog, namespace
and detailed schema information even for complex queries.


<li>Named and unnamed parameters.


<li>Full UTF-8 and UTF-16 support, each with optimized pipelines into the native
database core.



<li>Multiple simultaneous DataReaders (one DataReader per Command however).



<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>Full support for user-defined collating sequences, every bit as simple to implement
as user-defined functions and uses the same base class.



<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>

<h2><strong>Design-Time Support</strong></h2>
<font color="red">Currently not included.  We are still updating the Design-Time
support installer.</font>

<h2>Compiling for the Compact Framework</h2>
<font color="red">Compact framework not currently not included. We hope to have
this feature included again soon.</font></li>
<p>
Just change the target platform from Win32 to Compact Framework and recompile.&nbsp;
<strong>The Compact Framework has no support for enumerating attributes in an assembly,
therefore all user-defined collating sequences and functions must be explicitly
registered.</strong>&nbsp; See the <strong>testce</strong> sample application for
an example of how to explicitly register user-defined collating sequences and functions.</p>

<h2><b><a name="redist"></a>Distributing The SQLite Engine and ADO.NET Assembly</b></h2>
<font color="red">Currently all versions provided as System.Data.SQLite.dll and SQLite.Interop.dll.
This provides consistency across all packages, including Compact and Mono.</font>
<p>
On the desktop, only the <strong>System.Data.SQLite.DLL</strong> file needs to be
distributed with your application(s).&nbsp; This DLL contains both the managed wrapper
and the native SQLite3 codebase.&nbsp; For the Compact Framework, you will have
to distribute both the CF version of System.Data.SQLite.DLL, as well as the SQLite.Interop.XXX.DLL.&nbsp;
This is a breaking change as of 1.0.59.0.&nbsp; Recent Windows Mobile frameworks
are not supporting the mixed CF assembly I was building prior to this version.</p>

<h2><b>Development Notes Regarding the SQLite 3 Source Code</b></h2>

<p>
The core sqlite engine is compiled directly from the unmodified source code available
at the sqlite.org website.&nbsp; Several additional pieces are compiled on top of
it to extend its functionality, but the core engine's source is not changed.</p>
<p>
