As a little surprise for developers, Windows 8 doesn’t come out with native database support. In the past months some SQLite portings came out, but none of the them was working really good. After the Windows Phone Summit (where Microsoft announced Windows Phone 8), the situation started to be more clear: SQLite will be the database officialy supported by Microsoft and SQLite will be officially released both for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. This way it’s likely to think that, as developers, we will be able to share not only the database but also the data access layer between the two platform: this will help us a lot porting our apps from one platform to the other.
