SQLiteORM – Lightweight ORM for SQLite in C#

SQLiteORM is a zero-configuration, convention-based object–relational mapper built on top of System.Data.SQLite.
It gives you strongly-typed LINQ-like queries, automatic schema migration, and bulk operations without ever writing raw SQL.


🚀 Key Features

Feature Description
Auto-Schema Tables and missing columns are created automatically at start-up.
LINQ-style Queries Use C# expressions (x => x.Age > 18) that are translated to SQL.
Bulk Operations InsertList, UpdateList, DeleteList, Upsert.
Index Managment Create all type of index for table by Attributes
Transaction Safety All multi-row operations run inside transactions.
No Config Needed Works out of the box with a local Database.sqlite file.
Configurable One line can switch DB path or file name.
Performance Aggressive caching of reflection data and WAL journal mode.

📦 Quick Start

1. Define a Model

using SQLiteORM.Attributes;

[Table("Users")]
public class User
{
    [IdentityKey]           // or name the property "Id"
    public int UserId       { get; set; }
    [Index("IX_Users_Name", IsUnique = true)]  //add unique index
    public string Name      { get; set; }
    public int  Age         { get; set; }
    public DateTime Joined  { get; set; }
    [Ignore]                // computed or not persisted
    public string Display   => $"{Name} ({Age})";
}

2. Write / Read Data

// Insert
var user = new User { Name = "Alice", Age = 30, Joined = DateTime.UtcNow };
int id = SQLiteManager.Insert(user);

// Query
var adults = SQLiteManager.Find<User>(u => u.Age >= 18);

// Update
user.Age++;
SQLiteManager.Update(user);

// Delete
SQLiteManager.Delete<User>(user.UserId);

⚙️ Configuration

SQLiteManager.SetDefaultDatabasePath("MyApp.sqlite", @"C:\Data");


or via AppConfig.xml:

<DatabaseConfig>
  <DatabaseName>MyApp.sqlite</DatabaseName>
  <DatabasePath>C:\Data</DatabasePath>
</DatabaseConfig>

🏎️ Bulk Operations

var users = GetLotsOfUsers();
SQLiteManager.InsertList(users);          // ~1 transaction
SQLiteManager.UpdateList(users);

var ids = users.Select(u => u.UserId).ToList();
SQLiteManager.DeleteList<User>(ids);

Index Managment

//get all index for table
var indexes = SQLiteManager.GetIndexesForTable("Users");
//check index exists
bool indexExists = SQLiteManager.IndexExists("IX_Users_Email");
//remove index by name
SQLiteManager2.RemoveIndex("IX_Users_Email");
//remove all index for table
SQLiteManager.RemoveIndexesForTable("Users");
//remove index for property you definde before
SQLiteManager.RemoveIndexesForProperty<User>(u => u.Email);

🧹 Schema Evolution Add a new property to your model. Restart the application → the column is added automatically without data loss. Remove a column explicitly:

SQLiteManager.RemoveColumn("Users", "LegacyColumn");
