<title>SQLite Support Options</title> <h2>SQLite Support Options</h2> <h3>Professional Support</h3> <p> If you would like professional support for SQLite or if you want custom modifications performed by the original author or SQLite, these services are available for a modest fee. For additional information visit <a href="http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/prosupport.html"> http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/prosupport.html</a> or contact:</p> <blockquote> D. Richard Hipp <br /> Hwaci - Applied Software Research <br /> 704.948.4565 <br /> <a href="mailto:drh@hwaci.com">drh@hwaci.com</a> </blockquote> <h3>Proprietary SQLite Extensions</h3> <p>The core SQLite library found on this website is in the <a href="copyright.html">public domain</a>. But there also exist proprietary, licensed extensions to SQLite, written and maintained by the original developer.</p> <ul> <li><p> The <a href="http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/see.html">SQLite Encryption Extension (SEE)</a> will read and write database file encrypted using 128-bit or 256-bit AES.</p></li> <li><p> The <a href="http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/cerod.html"> SQLite Compressed and Encrypted Read-Only Database (CEROD)</a> Extension will read a database file that is both compressed and encrypted.</p></li> <li><p> The [TH3 | Test Harness #3 (TH3)] is an alternative set of test vectors for SQLite that verify the operation of SQLite in an as-deployed configuration on embedded platforms using [test coverage | 100% branch test coverage]. </li> </ul> <h3>Mailing Lists</h3> <p>Three separate mailing lists have been established to help support SQLite:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-announce"> sqlite-announce</a> - announcements of new releases or significant developments.</li> <li><a href="http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users"> sqlite-users</a> - general user discussion; most postings belong here.</li> <li><a href="http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-dev"> sqlite-dev</a> - developer conversations; for people who have or aspire to have write permission on the SQLite source code repository.</li> </ul> <p> Most users of SQLite will want to join the <a href="http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-announce"> sqlite-announce</a> list and many will want to join the <a href="http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users"> sqlite-users</a> list. The <a href="http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-dev"> sqlite-dev</a> list is more specialized and appeals to a narrower audience. Off-site archives of the <a href="http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users"> sqlite-users</a> list are available at: </p> <blockquote> <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/sqlite-users%40sqlite.org/"> http://www.mail-archive.com/sqlite-users%40sqlite.org</a><br> <a href="http://marc.info/?l=sqlite-users&r=1&w=2"> http://marc.info/?l=sqlite-users&r=1&w=2</a><br> <a href="http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.sqlite.general"> http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.sqlite.general</a> </blockquote> </p> <a name="directemail"></a> <h3>Direct E-Mail To The Author</h3> <p> Use the mailing list. Please do <b>not</b> send email directly to the author of SQLite unless: <ul> <li>You have or intend to acquire a professional support contract as described above, or</li> <li>You are working on an open source project.</li> </ul> You are welcomed to use SQLite in closed source, proprietary, and/or commerical projects and to ask questions about such use on the public mailing list. But please do not ask to receive free direct technical support. The software is free; direct technical support is not. </p>
