I’ve gotten the SQLite2 humming. so the next big question… is there a means to use SQLite2 as an encrypted file/db (SEE)?
The zhort answer is yes. SEE (SQLite Encryption Extension) SQLite Encryption Extension: Documentation
Is available without you needing to change the driver.
You will however need a license from SQLite, and you will need to build your own Sqlite3 DLL.
But yes it seems doable. (Its not something im gonna get time to play with anytime soon, but you dont need me to accomplish this.)
