What does microsoft.data.sqlite do for sqlite?


Asked by Emely Little on Dec 12, 2021 SQLite



Data.Sqlite is a lightweight ADO.NET provider for SQLite. The Entity Framework Core provider for SQLite is built on top of this library. However, it can also be used independently or with other data access libraries.
Indeed,
SQLite is not an RDBMS so it has no maintenance tasks as such. Think of it like a Word document and less like SQL Server. Not that compacts or other things couldn't be done, in theory, but SQLite is not built for that. Any maintenance would be done by the app itself.
In this manner, SQLite (/ ˌ ɛ s ˌ k juː ˌ ɛ l ˈ aɪ t /, / ˈ s iː k w ə ˌ l aɪ t /) is a relational database management system (RDBMS) contained in a C library. In contrast to many other database management systems, SQLite is not a client-server database engine.
Likewise,
SQLite uses manifest typing to store values of any type in a column. Type affinity of a column is the recommended type for data stored in that column. Note that the data type is recommended, not required, therefore, a column can store any type of data.
