• i've done this in vb.Net / C#.Net; let us know if you are a programmer and just need a deeper code example.

    once i had the reference to System.Data.SQLite it's really easy.

    Dim f As String = Application.StartupPath & "\" & "Stormrage.SQLite.db3"

    'delete so we can test the whole process:

    If File.Exists(f) Then

    File.Delete(f)

    End If

    Dim SQLconn As New System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteConnection()

    Dim SQLcommand As SQLiteCommand

    Dim sql As String

    'create database if it does not exist

    Try

    If Not File.Exists(f) Then

    Dim SQLconnect As New System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteConnection()

    'Database Doesn't Exist so Created at Path

    SQLconnect.ConnectionString = "Data Source=" & f & ";"

    SQLconnect.Open()

    SQLconnect.Close()

    End If

    Catch ex As Exception

    MsgBox(ex.ToString)

    End Try

    Try

    'now the file exists, lets add some tables.

    SQLconn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=" & f & ";"

    SQLconn.Open()

    SQLcommand = SQLconn.CreateCommand

    ''drop all the tables if they exist:

    'Dim SchemaTable As New DataTable

    'SchemaTable = SQLconn.GetSchema(SQLiteMetaDataCollectionNames.Tables, {"NEXUSLEVELS"})

    'For int As Integer = 0 To SchemaTable.Rows.Count - 1

    ' If SchemaTable.Rows(int)!TABLE_TYPE.ToString = "table" Then

    ' sql =

    ' End If

    'Next

    '> create table t (

    '> a varchar(15) check (length(a) <= 15),

    '> b integer check (typeof(b) = 'integer')

    sql = "CREATE TABLE [SQLiteDevelopers] ( " & vbCrLf

    sql = sql & "[DeveloperID] INTEGER IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, " & vbCrLf

    sql = sql & "[DeveloperName] VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, " & vbCrLf

    sql = sql & "[DeveloperType] VARCHAR(30) NULL DEFAULT 'EVIL', " & vbCrLf

    sql = sql & " PRIMARY KEY (DeveloperID), " & vbCrLf

    sql = sql & " CHECK ([DeveloperType] = 'EVIL' OR [DeveloperType] = 'GOOD' OR [DeveloperType] = 'NEUTRAL') ) " & vbCrLf

    sql = sql & " " & vbCrLf

    SQLcommand.CommandText = sql

    SQLcommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
