Does anyone have experience using SQLite with XNA?

Or using any other DB with XNA?

I think you mean SQLite?? Might want to update the spelling (though Google will find it right) so people are aware. – James Apr 15 '11 at 16:17
For sure using SQLite isn't a good choice when it comes to huge amounts of data: e.g. MMOs. – daemonfire300 Apr 15 '11 at 16:39

Now that I think about it, the appropriate answers are 'Yes', 'No but I used this' and 'No' Do we have a specific question to answer here??? – James Apr 15 '11 at 17:46
Just a comment: Most games are better off loading their data all into RAM in which case the file storage format doesn't matter too much. – Zan Lynx Apr 15 '11 at 21:41

-1, because like @James says, there isn't a question here. – Tetrad♦ Apr 15 '11 at 21:49

SQLight does work with XNA, just don't expect any store procedures or functions. Any flat file will work to store data (XML, JSON etc). I prefer XML, though if I was using lots of data I would switch to SQLite

You should have no issues Accessing SQLite from a Windows XNA Game. On Windows, XNA Project is just like any other project and you can do anything that C# can do. On Xbox or WP7 this isn't completely the case; however, there is also a C# version of SQLite written to run on fully managed environment (Xbox, WP7): see the ZMan's post here: http://xboxforums.create.msdn.com/forums/p/47127/282261.aspx
