SQLiteDialect

CanAlterColumn

public override bool CanAlterColumn { get; }

value = sQLiteDialect.CanAlterColumn

Whether an existing column's type or nullability can be changed in place. SQLite cannot: such a change means rebuilding the table.

SQL string concatenation operator.

DecimalComparisonCastSqlType

public override string DecimalComparisonCastSqlType { get; }

value = sQLiteDialect.DecimalComparisonCastSqlType
