Emacs29: sqllite support for orgroam on Windows?

[c.buhtz]

Making OrgRoam usable on Windows is quit hard because of the SQLlite 
component.
I don't want to go into details. It is possible but not easy.

I read about Emacs 29 and its in build sqlite support.
https://blog.phundrak.com/emacs-29-what-can-we-expect/#native-access-to-sqlite-databases

In that case might it be easier with Emacs 29 to setup OrgRoam on 
Windows because there is no need anymore to install an extra sqlite?

Is this a (maybe) yes or (maybe) no?

Can you please translate that answer to someone who doesn't know the 
internals of Emacs and Lisp; a normal user?

Asking an internet search engine it seems this is a variable or how you 
call it in Lisp?

But there is no public available (C-h and Lisp-code doesn't count) 
documentation about it.
I only can find it mentioned in org roam manual
https://www.orgroam.com/manual.html#Customizing-Node-Caching
But it is not described there just mentioned.

C-h o doesn't help because I only have Emacs 27 alive here and the text 
behind it is outdated because of that. And the text behind it is not on 
a user level but only on a Emacs-Lisp-programmer-level to understand.

This is a user option.
You can find details about it via the usual Emacs means:

1. M-x customize-group org-roam
2. <f1> v org-roam-database-connector

I recommend https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2022-01-31-learning-emacs/
for more ways how to get help in Emacs.
