I’ve messed with Access a little bit in the past, had one class on OO theory, and one class on console c++ apps. Now, as a hobby project, I’m undertaking to write an actual app, which will be a database app using System.Data.SQLite and C#.
I have the db’s table structure planned. I have System.Data.SQLite installed and connected to VS Pro. I entered my tables and columns in VS, but that’s where I’m stuck. I really don’t know how to finish the db set up so I can start creating queries and testing the db structure. Can someone give me guidance to online resources that will help me learn how to get the db properly set up so I can proceed with testing it?
I’m hoping for online resources specific to beginners using C# and System.Data.SQLite, but I’ll use the closest I can get.
Thanks.
Update:
Being somewhat comfortable with the notion (and steeled to it also, due to the anticipation of not having a choice), I think I want to use sql-language queries to communicate with the db instead of additional appliances (like ORM’s or entity frameworks, etc). I would do this to keep my learning curve lower and it seems like I can use what little knowledge I have, since I already don’t even know how to proceed configuring the db. So, question 2) Does that sound like a good plan?
for what I understood, you are actually trying to browser your database in order to prove that the table structure and the queries you’re going to use are sound. Is that correct?
If so seems like you’re looking for some kind of query interface. I’ve never used SQLite, but searching for query interfaces, I found this: http://sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net/
It might help.
Also look at this question here: Editing SQL query with Visual Studio 2008
It might help you to do just what you’re looking for.
