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

Looking forward to testing your basic viewer for reading the encrypted single file data store. Are you thinking to created and publish a second repository for the util/viewer? If we just need a simple secure encrypted local data store for Windows/iOS/Android app then just using the one ShareCoreDB core NuGet is all we need? And the single data file can be shared between all platforms correct?

Currently the 2 projects for the viewers are under the Tools section

One is Avalonia based and the other one is web based both however are still work in progress but have my highest attention
these viewers should also be capable to run on all platforms just as SharpCoreDB yes you can simply copy the file to any .Net Core supported OS or create a database from code with the one base nuget all the other nugets are only extensions as it is a fully modular DI design
