Future idea with more examples/samples/tool

[ps30]

This is an amazing project and everything that we in the .Net community need for a pure C# database using modern .Net 10, strong encryption, and a single file for storage. It would be great to have some additonal detailed documentation and C# code samples showing how to properly use these powerful features in a basic CRUD demo - as an example store user name/password/birth date in a encrypted single file. We have been trying to get a basic demo working but it seems some of the code is still moving around single file storage patterns. Having a CLI or GUI database tool to view/edit schema and data in the encrypted single file format (like DB Browser for SQLite https://sqlitebrowser.org/) would be a wonderful feature. Great work and we are actively following your project and looking forward to swapping out our SQLite wrappers+sqlite-net-pcl in WPF/MAUI windows desktop apps to use SharpCoreDB.

Yes I have focused to much on the technical stuff I guess , note I started this project in December-2025 so it is pretty young
but .... I created it as a demo to show you can make a full featured database in C# and because I wanted to have a secure file based database for my own usage for a future project of mine ... I first wanted to use SQLite or LiteDB and then I found they charge money for this secure feature and this is when SharpCoreDB was born .

I got a bit carried away in all the extra features as people were asking for a lot of advanced features like GraphRag , CQRS engines etc etc etc and all of that sort of stuff , but everything should be fully backwards compatible I run 2K tests to ensure I do not break anything .

SharpCoreDB is build modular so for only a file based database you only need the core engine

I do have an example section , and will before I release 1.7.0 as nugets make sure there are a lot more examples , there is also a basic viewer project and I am busy getting the engine to work with existing GUI tools however that is not that easy as you 'might' think the problem I had with SSMS 22 was that my driver was net core but that this UI is still the old .Net Framework so incompatible :-( I only found out after I wrote the driver ......

The engine is now also capable of running in server modus and i have now a web based UI in development (all in the repo)

Thank you for your feedback!! I promise to focus now more on examples and tooling as the engine itself has now already a lot to offer (if you know how to use it 😂)

Kind Regards
