core source code supports it.  The provider I wrote that Brad mentions 
is

for VS2005 and .NET 2.0, but there does exist a .NET 1.1 provider from
Finisar: http://sourceforge.net/projects/adodotnetsqlite
I can't vouch for its performance since I've never actually used it.


I've used the Finisar one on the desktop in the past, and it works quite 
well there.  I've never used the CF version of it, though.  Since moving 
my own projects to .NET 2.0, I haven't used it at all.

we're using SQLite under WinCE since version 2.1.7, with excellent
performances. We have been able to handle database with more than 10
records and up to more than 15 Mb without much problems. Most of the times the
programming language is the bottleneck, with queries executed in no time and
most of the computing time spent filling grids, combo boxes and so on. SQLite
rocks also when it comes to reliability, with almost no data loss despite the
problematic mobile environment.

We haven't tried the recent 3.X version yet, but 2.8 works like a charm, both
with the old Embedded Visual Tools environment and the newer .NET Compact
Framework. BTW we're not using the .NET data provider but direct calls to a
DLL that wraps SQLite so that it is usable from the development languages we
use.

Bye,

Lots of people are using SQLite on Windows CE -- especially now that the
core source code supports it.  The provider I wrote that Brad mentions is
for VS2005 and .NET 2.0, but there does exist a .NET 1.1 provider from
Finisar: http://sourceforge.net/projects/adodotnetsqlite
I can't vouch for its performance since I've never actually used it.

In almost every test I ran on a PocketPC against Sql Server Mobile 3.0 (the
replacement for SqlCE), SQLite smoked it in performance.  SQLite is less
than 1/3rd the install size as well.

I am planning to use sqlite with VS .Net 2003 Smart device C#
application.  Just wondering if anyone has blazed down this path
before and has any insights to share.


The big thing to remember is that you are not programming for a desktop 
device, nor even a laptop.  If you can limit the use of the keyboard, 
you should.  Don't try to do data entry, unless you have another way to 
do it, such as a barcode scanner.


Check out http://sqlite.phxsoftware.com/ for a SQLite provider for .NET 
and the CF.


For some reading, I picked up this book last year, and it has some 
really good information in it.  There are a number of other books 
available as well.

This one also looks pretty good.
