Another year, another posting.
Back in 2004, I blogged about Finisar.SQLitem which at the time was the way to go.
Today, I am in quite the same situation as I was back then, with the difference that this time, it’s not about experimenting. It’s a real-world will-go-life-thing. I’m quite excited to finally have a chance at doing some PocketPC / Windows Mobile stuff that will actually be seen by someone else than myself.
Anyways: The project I blogged about is quite dead now and does not even support the latest versions of SQLite (3.2 is the newest supported file format). Additionally, it’s a ADO.NET 1.0 library and thus does not provide the latest bells and whistles.
Fortunately, someone stepped up and provided the world with
ADO.NET SQLite, which is what I’m currently trying out. The project is alive and kicking, supporting the latest versions of SQLite.
So, if you, like me, need a fast and small database engine for your PocketPC application, this project is the place to look I guess.
