restrictions

see also http://www.sqlite.org/omitted.html

  • no access permissions (other than file permissions); this is not so much a problem, because we use our own tables for access permissions anyways
  • no sequences (need a workaround: use eg. http://www.sqlite.org/faq.html#q1 AUTOINCREMENT)
  • no foreign key constraints

purpose

SQLite is easy to install, and therefore is useful for setting up demo systems for evaluation of OpenPetra.org

issues

  • on Linux, I have not figured out yet, which dll to use;
    • ManagedOnly.dll does not work with encryption, error: System.Data.SQLite.UnsafeNativeMethods:sqlite3_key; see also http://sqlite.phxsoftware.com/forums/p/1508/6579.aspx#6579
    • the other dll also does not run on Linux, even with sqlite3 = 3.6.10; System.Data.SQLite.UnsafeNativeMethods:sqlite3_open_interop
