dbExpress Driver for SQLite Overview
dbExpress Driver for SQLite is a database-independent layer that defines common
interface to provide fast access to SQLite from Delphi and C++Builder
on Windows and Mac OS X for both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. For
this database engine, dbExpress provides a driver as an independent library. As
data-access layer is thin and simple, dbExpress provides high performance database
connectivity and is easy to deploy. You can use our driver in the same way as the
one supplied by Embarcadero.
dbExpress driver for SQLite provides direct high performance access to SQLite databases.
The driver requires SQLite library "sqlite3.dll".
Native Connectivity to SQLite
Applications based on dbExpress driver for SQLite are easy to deploy, do not require
installation of other data provider layers (such as BDE and ODBC), and that's why
they can work faster than the ones based on standard Delphi data connectivity solutions.
SQLite Encryption
To protect your data from unauthorized access, our dbExpress driver for SQLite provides
a powerful and customizable SQLite Database Encryption engine. You no longer have
to spend money to buy expensive SQLite client libraries with support for encryption
- with Static Linking, encryption support will be automatically added to your application
and the following algorithms will be able to protect your data: AES, Blowfish, TripleDES,
Cast128, RC4. dbExpress driver for SQLite allows to use any third-party SQLite library
with SQLite Encryption support as well.
Developing in Delphi and C++Builder for Windows and Mac OS
dbExpress driver for SQLite is a cross-IDE solution for developing applications
for Windows and Mac OS: RAD Studio, Delphi and C++Builder for both x86 and x64 platforms.
dbExpress driver for SQLite also provides support for the FireMonkey platform, which
allows you to develop visually spectacular high-performance native applications
for Windows.
Key Features
Static Linking
Linking the SQLite library statically in your application ensure, that your application
uses exactly the same version of SQLite, with which it was developed and tested.
Also it makes deployment easier.
DB Compatibility
Our product supports SQLite versions since 3.0 and higher.
64-bit Development
dbExpress driver for SQLite doesn't limit your choice of the development platform.
Now you can develop for 32-bit and 64-bit platforms with Delphi.
Data Type Mapping
If you want to make custom correspondence between SQLite and Delphi data types,
you can use a simple and flexible Data Type Mapping engine provided by dbExpress
driver for SQLite.
IDE Compatibility
Our product is compatible with the latest IDE versions: Embarcadero RAD Studio XE4,
Delphi XE4 and C++Builder XE4. It is also compatible with the previous IDE versions
since Delphi 6 and C++Builder 6.
Development Platforms
Now you can develop not only VCL-based applications in Delphi, but also use the
newest FireMonkey application development platform.
Performance
All our components and libraries are designed to help you write high-performance,
lightweight data access layers, therefore they use advanced data access algorithms
and techniques of optimization.
Monitoring
Use our freeware dbMonitor tool to monitor
and analyze all the DB calls made by your application using SQLite dbExpress Driver
for SQLite. dbMonitor performs percomponent tracing of SQL statement execution, commits,
rollbacks, etc.
