SQLite DATETIME column with Entity Framework

Question

I have an existing SQLite database that I want to use in Entity Framework. However SQLite\'s weird type system means you can even

create table temp(temp date         


        

Answer 1

You have to change your connection string to something like

data source="|DataDirectory|\data.sqlite";datetimeformat=UnixEpoch;datetimekind=Utc

You can change these settings in Server Explorer/<right click your connection>/Modify Connection/Advanced, but changing the settings there will not propagate to your App.config connection string.
