Can i password encrypt SQLite database?


I use SQLite version 3 works perfectly!You have to do that:

//if the database has already passwordtry{            string conn = @"Data Source=database.s3db;Password=Mypass;";            SQLiteConnection connection= new SQLiteConnection(conn);            connection.Open();            //Some code            connection.ChangePassword("Mypass");            connection.Close();    }//if it is the first time sets the password in the databasecatch    {            string conn = @"Data Source=database.s3db;";            SQLiteConnection connection= new SQLiteConnection(conn);            connection.Open();            //Some code            connection.ChangePassword("Mypass");            connection.Close();    }

thereafter if the user tries to open the database. will say protected by Admin or the database is encrypted or is not a database or corrupted file!


Found in this forum an post indicating that ..

Standard SQLite3 API doesn't offer any form of protection and relies only on underlying OS privileges mecanism (if any) for "security". If you have an existing SQLite-style database which uses a specific API to gain access, then you should use this particular (non-standard) API.

If you can/want to use some kind of extension for SQLite you can also try SQLite Encryption Extension (SEE) or SQLite Crypt

But you can change/set a password for your database using SQLite.Data as shown in this article.
