*** ABOUT SQLITE3-DBX *** SQLite 3 has database encryption support, but this seems to be not publicly available as explained below: http://www.sqlite.org/see/doc/trunk/www/readme.wiki However a Google search for "7bb07b8d471d642e" magic reveals that part of the source code is available from SQLite Web site: http://www.sqlite.org/slt/vpatch?from=10318b880cb756b2&to=1d627f5850e271cf (encryption added) http://www.sqlite.org/slt/vpatch?from=1d627f5850e271cf&to=f85e9769888f9e76 (encryption removed) http://www.sqlite.org/sqllogictest/ci/f85e9769888f9e762ef3c8d2f18121ea8307b433?sbs=1 This project is based on the following SQLite version: VERSION: 3.7.0 SOURCE ID: 2010-07-02 19:04:59 336ce7d29767f76c4a92aa4bbc46d21e19871667 *** COMPILATION: No Makefile is provided. Compilation (in debug mode) is as easy as: $ gcc -o sqlite3 -I. -DSQLITE_HAS_CODEC -DHAVE_READLINE shell.c sqlite3.c -Wall -ggdb -ldl -lpthread -lreadline -lncurses Tested & supported platforms are: * Linux (Ubuntu 10.04 x86) * Windows (Cygwin) * Mac OS X (10.7) WARNING: on recent Ubuntu versions, GCC command-line arguments ordering matters. "The --as-needed option also makes the linker sensitive to the ordering of libraries on the command-line." https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyNarwhal/ToolchainTransition#How_to_Fix_a_Problem *** USAGE: ./sqlite3 -key 0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF file.dbx Note: key length is only limited by 'int' implementation size. *** KNOWN LIMITATIONS: * Encryption key put into ~/.sqliterc file will NOT be taken into account. * ".backup" and ".restore" meta commands will NOT encrypt the /other/ database (would be easy to implement anyway). * Rekeying is supported by the API, but not implemented (yet). *** EOT
