Connect to an SQLite database from ArcGIS for Desktop

Create a folder connection in the Catalog tree and connect to the SQLite database file. The file must have the extension .sqlite (or .SQLITE or .SQLite; it is not case sensitive) for ArcGIS to recognize it as an SQLite database.

Steps:

1. Start ArcCatalog or ArcMap and open the Catalog window.
2. Click Connect To Folder .
3. Type or navigate the path to the folder that contains the SQLite database and click OK.

   The folder path is added under Folder Connections in the Catalog tree.

4. Expand the folder and double-click the SQLite file to connect to it.
