  This Application is already realized for Iphone and Android, so I have to use there Database file to the database structure was the same for all applications. Sqlite is used as the database .

  </ul>
  
  <p>Official client is only for windows phone 8 
  <a href="http://www.sqlite.org/download.html" rel="noreferrer">http://www.sqlite.org/download.html</a> 
  and is not working with windows phone 7.1</p>
  
  <p>Will be really helpfull if someone can give me any suggestions what i can  do with this situation.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>develop only for Windows Phone 8 and use official Sqlite Client</li>
  <li>use old libriaries for sqlite and try to work with them on windows phone 8</li>
  <li>use SQL CE as the database</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>(PS. : The situation is further complicated by the fact that Windows RT is not support SQL CE and only Sqlite   and it makes me crazy.)</p>
