First, I use the pre-built DLL from the SQLite web site, and then use my compiler's library import utility to generate the appropriate import lib. That saves me all the warnings.
Second, examine the actual warnings, not just the count. You'll find that a large number of them are warnings about deprecated library methods such as strcpy. The fact that Microsoft has chosen to deprecate standard library functions is a Microsoft issue rather than an SQLite issue. It's true that a lot of these functions are dangerous in inexperienced and careless hands. It's also true that they're very safe and have been used successfully for 30 years by programmers who understand their limitations and use them appropriately. Examine the warnings, look at the code around them, see if there is any merit to the warnings or if it's more of a chicken little situation. If you can't check all 600, spot check several which you find at random. And remember that there's nothing wrong with strcpy and strcat, as long as the destination buffer is large enough for the string being received. Look for the allocation of that buffer and see how it's come about and how the size is checked.
