sqlite: Why bother with sqlite3.dll while Direct mode is available?

Hi,

Beside the encryption feature, what's the concern to choose either way?
I'm a little confused, please advise, thanks!

The direct mode is more easy-to use mode, then the client mode:
- it includes support of database encryption;
- there is no need to deploy library together with the application.
UniDAC includes the latest versions of the SQLite core. Besides, during compilation of the SQLite core, the additional options, which are absent in the standard edition of the SQLite library, were included.
Currently, the direct mode is available only in Delphi for Windows platforms.
For more information on the direct mode in LiteDAC and UniDAC, see http://www.devart.com/litedac/docs/inde ... rk_net.htm
