This week, Eric Sink (creator of SQLitePCL.raw) and Brice Lambson (creator of Microsoft.Data.Sqlite) join the .NET Data Access Team to discuss everything SQLite on .NET. We’ll start down low digging into different ways to get the SQLite native binaries using Eric’s packages. Then we’ll move up the stack to look at the basics of SQLite on .NET with Brice’s ADO.NET provider. Going higher still, we’ll look at how to get the most from SQLite with the EF Core provider.
