Hope this is the correct Channel. I’m looking to use SQLDelight in a Compose Desktop app - do I need have to use SQLDelight to create the database or can I point it at an already existing database?

You can use an existing one, as long there is a dialect of course and you need to pass/export the schema to sqldelight.

So I have to have the schema in SQLDelight (.sq files), I can’t just point SQLDeligh at the DB?

[hfhbd]

Yes, Sqldelight is an offline code generator. I am developing a Gradle plugin to fetch the schema from the db but it’s not yet published.
