SQLite as data store in C++

[FyreWolfe]

There are various advantages in a using a SQLite as a database with the best being that it’s small, fast and reliable.

The best way to use SQLite is to embed it in the game using the recommended amalgamation source code available on sqlite.org, but it is also available as a library for Windows (DLL) or Linux (shared-library .so ) .

From a licensing point of view, using SQLite in any commercial game is also VERY safe since SQLite’s source has been released into the public domain.

The following steps should allow C++ programmers to embed SQLite into their games.

Hehe, nice blog Wolfe!

I like it!
I heard that Oblivion is actually vulnerable to SQL injection (little Bobby Tables anyone?)... The game uses SQLlite and savegames are part sql queries... Put the wrong characters into your name and blam!

Been using sqlite to save data in apps and games for a while now, when working on PC format.
It is just so easy to do that it is normally the first "save file solution" I think of using.
