Sandbox Sqlite with EF Core

Question

I'm making a small web app which currently is using sqlite + EF Core 2.1 for storing data. Are there any solutions that I can sandbox my sqlite database file ?

I mean to load my sqlite database with its data and triggers from my physical db file into memory.

Everytime when I turn on/off VS debugger, database will be refreshed with my existing data in physical file .

Thank you,

Answer 1

Here's some code that literally does what you asked:

var sandboxConnection = new SqliteConnection("Data Source=:memory:");
sandboxConnection.Open();

using (var physicalConnection = new SqliteConnection("Filename=physical.db"))
{
    physicalConnection.Open();
    physicalConnection.BackupDatabase(sandboxConnection);
}

optionsBuilder.UseSqlite(sandboxConnection);

Move the physical sqlite file outside of the web root in a secure folder. SqliteCipher can also be used to encrypt
