SQLite Data Access Components Editions

SQLite Data Access Components comes in two editions: Standard and Professional.

The Standard edition includes the LiteDAC basic connectivity components. LiteDAC Standard Edition is a cost-effective solution for database application developers who are looking for high-performance connectivity to SQLite for secure, reliable, and high-speed data transmission.

The Professional edition shows off the full power of LiteDAC, enhancing LiteDAC Standard Edition with support for SQLite-specific functionality, such as access to SQLite in the Direct mode using static linking of the SQLite library in an application, database encryption, and advanced dataset management features.

You can get Source Access to LiteDAC Professional Edition by purchasing a special LiteDAC Professional Edition with Source Code, which includes the source code of all component classes. The source code of DataSet Manager is not distributed. The source code of the Direct mode for SQLite is distributed as precompiled packages.

The matrix below compares the features of LiteDAC editions. The detailed list of all LiteDAC features can be found on the features page.
