Thanks, but why not sqlite add a password to the database file?
There isn't much value in adding a password required to access the file.
The user could still easily see all of the data stored within the SQLite file. SQLite is an embedded database file. By its very nature, the user will have access to the raw database file. This is very different than a client/server database like Sybase or Oracle. With those, the server can be walled off from the user quite effectively.
Now, of course, you could use an encryption extension -- of which several are available (see sqlite.org for more info) -- to encrypt the data in the database with a password. It is likely that this would cause a potentially significant performance hit.
