It should work the way you have it, just with dub you can also 
the dub version instead of copying the files: 
https://code.dlang.org/packages/arsd-official%3Asqlite

both are supposed to work.

What is the number? My guess is you might have gotten the wrong 
sqlite3.dll (it should come from the same source as the .lib file 
you used) or it is in the wrong place.

That's possible too but it would normally fail to link entirely 
if this was it. My money is on the dll, especially since the 
main() doesn't even try to open the database, it must be a 
loading issue. Where did you get the .lib file anyway?

BTW:

	"copyFiles":["lib/sqlite3.lib"]


You don't need that, the .lib is only used while building. You 
might need to copyFiles the .dll though.
