Would someone explain how to get LINQ working with Sqlite.
SQLite is open source file system database. Unlike SQL Server, this doesn't require any Service to interact with the database but the real problem occurs, when we try to interact with SQLite DB in C#. There is no proper Entity Framework support available, as of now. Thus, we are compelled to use inline queries.
In LINQ to SQL, the data model of a relational database is mapped to an object model expressed in the programming language of the developer. When the application runs, LINQ to SQL translates into SQL the language-integrated queries in the object model and sends them to the database for execution.
LINQ to SQL was the first object-relational mapping technology released by Microsoft. It works well in basic scenarios and continues to be supported in Visual Studio, but it's no longer under active development.
LINQ to DataSet makes it easier and faster to query over data cached in a DataSet object. Specifically, LINQ to DataSet simplifies querying by enabling developers to write queries from the programming language itself, instead of by using a separate query language.
Here you have an SQL Linq provider for SQLite, and some other DBs
