Re: [sqlite] Complile and connecting to SQLite
Aaron Jones wrote: there is no dll file in the sqlite source Aaron, To use SQLite on Windows you need to download 3 separate files. http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-3_3_5.zip contains a command line shell statically linked to the sqlite library. You can use it to create, open, test sqlite databases, or to try out SQL statements etc. http://www.sqlite.org/sqlitedll-3_3_5.zip contains a precompiled DLL that you can use to dynamically link the sqlite library to your application. This DLL is also used by some third party sqlite GUI tools etc. http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-source-3_3_5.zip contains preprocessed source files. In particular it contains sqlite.h which is needed to compile applications that will link to sqlite (either statically or dynamically). You will also need these source files to include sqlite directly into your application, or to build a static library to link with your application. HTH Dennis Cote

SQLite is an embeddable engine (library), not a server, so you don't "connect to" it, you link it into your program. The "exe file" is simply a command-line shell program that's been linked with the SQLite library. You can link SQLite either statically or dynamically (.dll) the same way you can link any other library.

Re: [sqlite] Complile and connecting to SQLite
You cannot go wrong by using Mingw. The package with the Dev-Cpp IDE works well and compiles Sqlite without problems. JS Aaron Jones wrote: Windows XP, don't know what compiler to use.

Re: [sqlite] Complile and connecting to SQLite
To compile just read the instructions with thye source distribution. Sqlite doesn't connect, it is a library which you link into your application.

Re: [sqlite] Complile and connecting to SQLite
There are wrappers here to connect to SQLite from loads of different languages and toolkits :- http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=SqliteWrappers On 02/05/06, Aaron Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Windows XP, don't know what compiler to use.

Windows XP, don't know what compiler to use. I am creating a GUI to SQLite, so need my interface to connect to SQLite, and wanted to know what it connected to, the source code or the exe file.
