"SQLitePCL.raw is a Portable Class Library (PCL) for low-level (raw) access to SQLite.  This package does not provide an API which is friendly to app developers.  Rather, it provides an API which handles platform and configuration issues, upon which a friendlier API can be built.  On platforms (like Android or iOS) where SQLite is preinstalled, this package may be all you need.  On other platforms, or if you want to use a different SQLite build, see the SQLitePCL.plugin.* packages.  (Note that with the 0.8.0 release, the ID of this package changed from 'SQLitePCL.raw_basic' to 'SQLitePCL.raw'.  Eventually, the old ID will stop getting updates.)"
