使用sqlite3.exe从加密的sqlite数据库获取数据

Question

I have a password protected database which I have created using System.Data.Sqlite.dll in .net windows application.

Now I want to write a script to fetch data from this database using sqlite3.exe. How to provide password using sqlite3.exe and get the data from this database? If I directly use the select command, it throws error: "Error: file is encrypted or is not a database"

Answer 1

After opening the database via sqlite.exe, use PRAGMA KEY before issuing any additional SELECT/etc. statements:

PRAGMA KEY="MyPassword";

EDIT : It looks like System.Data.Sqlite.dll does not use the semi-standard encryption code found in many SQLite binaries. Instead, it uses the Windows Crypto APIs. The above answer will not work.
