Recommendation for Sqlite DB manager application? [closed]

Answer 1

If you're within Visual Studio most of the time then System.Data.SQLite is good, and as a plus handles encrypted databases.

Answer 2

Navicat SQLite is very good and they support Windows, OS X and Linux too.

Answer 3

Spent the morning looking for a good Sqlite Database Manager/Browser and have settled on SqliteStudio, currently v2.20.28, which I'm running on Ubuntu Linux 10.04.

• The download is one 4.3MB uncompressed executable file. Period!
• It's fast, well-behaved, and uses modest resources.
• The interface is clean and attractive with logical functionality.
• I don't say this often, but it's just a "A Joy to Use".
• It was developed and is actively maintained by Pawel Salawa who is is to be commended for producing a very nice program.

I just used it to merge two Firefox FloatNotes databases (Sqlite v3), which just use a single table...

• The target database is on the local host where SqliteStudio is running (i.e. /0/LX02)
• The source database file is on a remote host mounted via SSHFS to /0/LX04
• Opened the two database files using Add Database.
• Used the SQL Editor to execute an INSERT to the LX02 database from a SELECT on the LX04.
• Click the Commit icon when all goes well or Rollback if there are errors to fix.
• Refresh the table data to see the inserted rows.

There's no Import GUI functionality but merging is pretty simple if you know SQL. I supplied NULL for the first column which is the unique-id primary-key so that Sqlite would autoincrement, thus renumbering the rows being merged in...

INSERT INTO [floatnotes.sqlite].floatnotes
SELECT NULL,
       url,
       protocol,
       content,
       x,
       y,
       w,
       h,
       color,
       status,
       guid,
       creation_date,
       modification_date
  FROM [floatnotes-LX04.sqlite].floatnotes;

Answer 4

You might want to check MYZSQLExplorer, here.

Unlike the other tools, it is running on iOS devices (or in the simulator). It is a Viewer, not a management tool, and is not as feature-complete as some of the other tools, but is convenient as you can launch it from within your code and browse your databse from within your app.

Or you can "Open In..." it sqlite stores, by sending them as email attachments.

I developed it in order to help myself during the development and testing phases, and it did help.

If you have any feedback on it, I'd love to hear it.

Answer 5

If you want just CRUD operations on the sqlite database file, then SQuirreL is a very option as it has an auto complete feature which drastically improve the speed and efficiency of typing the sql queries.

To use the SQLite database in SQuirreL first download the JDBC driver of the SQLite from here then drop the jar in the lib folder of the SQuirreL folder. Now open SQuirreL and choose Create a New Driver. In the Example URL field put

jdbc:sqlite:$file_url

and in Class Name put

org.sqlite.JDBC

After that choose Create a New Alias and choose the driver that you just added and replace $file_url with the actual location of the sqlite file then click ok and you are done.

Answer 6

SQLiteSpy is a good choice
