SQLiteConnection
Namespace: Unity.VisualScripting.Dependencies.Sqlite
Syntax
public class SQLiteConnection : IDisposable

Constructors

SQLiteConnection(String, Boolean)

Constructs a new SQLiteConnection and opens a SQLite database specified by databasePath.

Declaration
public SQLiteConnection(string databasePath, bool storeDateTimeAsTicks = false)
Parameters
Type Name Description
String databasePath

Specifies the path to the database file.
Boolean storeDateTimeAsTicks

Specifies whether to store DateTime properties as ticks (true) or strings (false). You absolutely do want to store them as Ticks in all new projects. The default of false is only here for backwards compatibility. There is a significant speed advantage, with no down sides, when setting storeDateTimeAsTicks = true.

SQLiteConnection(String, SQLiteOpenFlags, Boolean)

Constructs a new SQLiteConnection and opens a SQLite database specified by databasePath.

Declaration
public SQLiteConnection(string databasePath, SQLiteOpenFlags openFlags, bool storeDateTimeAsTicks = false)
Parameters
Type Name Description
String databasePath

Specifies the path to the database file.
SQLiteOpenFlags openFlags
Boolean storeDateTimeAsTicks

Specifies whether to store DateTime properties as ticks (true) or strings (false). You absolutely do want to store them as Ticks in all new projects. The default of false is only here for backwards compatibility. There is a significant speed advantage, with no down sides, when setting storeDateTimeAsTicks = true.
