Database support for SQLite3
« on: September 14, 2010, 04:30:50 pm »
SQLite3 is extremely popular in embedded systems, handheld devices, and applications that have 'simple' database requirements.

At the moment, I have to manually massage the DDL statements that EA creates so it is useable by an SQLite3 database.

Similarly, using ODBC to reverse engineer a SQLite3 database resulted in several pieces of information missing from the diagram.  Especially table relationships.

Any chance we can get full SQLite3 support?  See http://www.sqlite.org/ for more information.

LFaR,

Your monicker sure beats New Hampshire's motto here in the States - "Live free or DIE!"

I wonder... is that an "inclusive or" or an "exclusive or".  Just kiddin', no disrespect intended.

Cheers,

LFaR,

No worries, no offense taken! If you browse the forum you'll no doubt find many threads discussing inclusive vs. exclusive or and a host of other semantic topics.

In the particular case of New Hampshire, however, I think General John Stark meant it as an {XOR} constraint when he used the phrase in the following toast before the Battle of Bennington in 1777: "Live Free Or Die; Death Is Not The Worst of Evils." Of course he wasn't going to be in the battle, so it was easy for him to say!

Converting from MS Access to SQLite 3.  Would love to see EA have support for it.
