SQLiteInMemoryDB

SQLite In Memory DB

You may use in-memory SQLite databases inside of the same process. Here is an example.

Connection String

To specify an in memory database, use a Uri connection string and set the mode to memory, and the cache to shared.

ConnectionString = "FullUri=file:dbName.db3?mode=memory&cache=shared;Version=3;";

Keeping Connection Alive

SQLite will release the database if no open connections to the database are present. Because of this, you need to either:

1. Keep the creation context alive for as long as the producers and consumers are running.
2. Obtain the scope from the creation context and hold onto it while the producers and consumers are running. When processing is complete, dispose of the scope to close the last connection.

The below example uses option #2.

Sample Code

public class SimpleMessage
{
	public string Message { get; set; }
}
