I just started off with SQLite. I wanted to do connectivity via ADO. I searched for drivers and found 2 of them :-

  1. http://system.data.sqlite.org/
  2. http://sqlite.phxsoftware.com/

I’m confused about which one to use. I tried installing both and, both of them are in the same namespace. Are they both same?

    The first one is actually a fork from the second one. I say fork, but really the first one is the direct descendant of the second one:

    This is a fork of the popular ADO.NET adapter for SQLite known as
    System.Data.SQLite. The originator of System.Data.SQLite, Robert
    Simpson, is aware of this fork, has expressed his approval, and has
    commit privileges on the new Fossil repository. The SQLite development
    team intends to maintain System.Data.SQLite moving forward.

    Historical versions, as well as the original support forums, may still
    be found at http://sqlite.phxsoftware.com/, though there have been no
    updates to this version since April of 2010.

    Ref.: http://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki

    The bottom line is: use the first one. It almost always includes the latest version of sqlite, and also, the maintenance is tightly coupled with the maintenance of sqlite itself.
