Previously, it was possible to password protect a SQLite file using C#, as shown here.
However, trying the top rated answer with the latest version (System.Data.SQLite or System.Data.SQLite.Core, 1.0.118), I get the following error:
cannot find a suitable package certificate file for product {loaded
assembly “System.Data.SQLite.SEE.License, Version=1.0.118.0
Researching, it seems like the ability to set a password was deprecated in v1.0.114. I also checked the SQLite website and can’t find any mention of ‘password’ in the docs. Another post seems to confirm it was removed. Support has seemingly been removed, so going back versions would not be possible for me.
However, the need to create a password protected SQLite file still seems relevant. The only other way I can think of is to create a separate application to Encrypt/Decrypt the file itself, which seems cumbersome.
Does anyone know the solution for creating a password protected SQLite file in .NET 8+ please?
If not, are there any better ways than a separate encrypt/decrypt program?
Yes,you can go and see the Uppal Balu videos you can easily understand the problem
