What it is
----------
Status
------
(taken from the website linked to above; it's still true - now even more)
SQLite Database Browser is a freeware, public domain, open source visual tool
used to create, design and edit database files compatible with SQLite. It is
meant to be used for users and developers that want to create databases, edit
and search data using a familiar spreadsheet-like interface, without the need
to learn complicated SQL commands.
What's been done since then
---------------------------
- Qt3Support was removed
- Recent files menu added
- Improved UI, making it more modern, replacing some dialogs etc.
- Syntax highlighting for SQL code
- Cleaned up the code, reducing the SLOC quite a bit
- Added basic support for triggers and views
- Added pragma editing
- Fixed a ton of bugs
- Probably more
Todo
----
All in all a fair amount of the code has been rewritten in order to regain
maintainability. Based on this quite a few bugs could be fixed and some
features added.
- UI cleanup
- Code cleanup (a lot)
For recent issues look at: https://github.com/rp-/sqlitebrowser/issues
What's still to do
------------------
- Even more code cleanup
- Further improvement of the UI, adding more features and making it easier to
use
- Inline editing of records instead of having to use a special dialog for it
- Avoid loading all records of a table to avoid problems when opening a very
big table
- Add proper support for BLOBs
