I can think of three solutions: 1- Difficult: change the sqlite3 library in such a way so it uses the whole executable as the "first page" of the database 2- Easier: Store the output of the .dump command of the sqlite3 shell in a 'resource' in the executable and on execution of your program read the resource and load it in an in-memory database (filename ":memory:" ) by calling sqlite3_exec() on each of its statements. 3- Easier: Store the database file as-is in a resource in the executable and on execution of your program write it to disk and open it in the normal way.
