How to encrypt a plain SQLite DB with password?

Post by Yogi Yang »

Hello,

I have a very large SQLite 3 DB (around 1 GB). I have a need to open the DB and then encrypted it with a password.

How to do this?

I tried to check out Blog post here - viewtopic.php?f=21&t=15029 but the linke provided is dead.

TIA

Zeos supports the original SQLite encryption API. But you have to buy the encryption module, I think or have a simular plugin. Then you can open encrypted databases.
Using wxsqlite is not supported at the moment.
For encrypting the database please use the SQLite tool.
