Firefox Bookmarks SQLite structure

Question

I am trying to write a Firefox 3 add-on which will enable me to easily re-tag bookmarks. For example I have some bookmarks tagged \"development\" and some tagged \"Development\"

Answer 1

As MartinStettner suggested tag structures are based on the foreign key for the tag id so you first have to determine the moz_bookmark.id for the target tag.

This Mozilla PDF explains the relationship in sqllite ...

Tags result in two new entries in moz_bookmarks. The first one is the tag, with parent=4 (tags), and fk=NULL. The second entry follows the first one and has the previous tag as its parent, and fk points to the proper entry in moz_places.

Using that as a guide ... Once you know the id for the tag you can join moz_places.id ON moz_bookmarks.fk ...

    SELECT moz_places.id, moz_places.url, moz_places.title, moz_bookmarks.parent    
    FROM moz_places    
    LEFT OUTER JOIN moz_bookmarks    
    ON moz_places.id = moz_bookmarks.fk    
    WHERE moz_bookmarks.parent = N

Export ...
