<#
.SYNOPSIS
Retrieves data from a SQLite database table with optional record limiting.
 
.DESCRIPTION
This function queries data from a SQLite database table using either a connection
string or database file path. It provides flexibility in connecting to the
database and controlling the amount of data retrieved through the Count parameter.
 
.PARAMETER ConnectionString
Specifies the SQLite connection string in the format:
"Data Source=path_to_database_file"
 
.PARAMETER DatabaseFilePath
Specifies the full file system path to the SQLite database file.
 
.PARAMETER TableName
Specifies the name of the table to query data from. The table must exist in the
database.
 
.PARAMETER Count
Specifies the maximum number of records to return. Default is 100.
Use -1 to return all records. Must be -1 or a positive integer.
 
.EXAMPLE
Get-SQLiteTableData -DatabaseFilePath "C:\data\users.db" -TableName "Employees" -Count 50
 
.EXAMPLE
Get-SQLiteTableData "C:\data\users.db" "Employees"
