If creating a 7content provider, you will probably have to use these classes to create and 8manage your own database to store content. See <a 9href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/providers/content-providers.html">Content Providers</a> to learn 10the conventions for implementing a content provider. See the 11NotePadProvider class in the NotePad sample application in the SDK for an 12example of a content provider. Android ships with SQLite version 3.4.0 13<p>If you are working with data sent to you by a provider, you will not use 14these SQLite classes, but instead use the generic {@link android.database} 15classes. 16<p>Android ships with the sqlite3 database tool in the <code>tools/</code> 17folder. You can use this tool to browse or run SQL commands on the device. Run by 18typing <code>sqlite3</code> in a shell window. 19</BODY> 20</HTML> 21
