Martin Kleusberg 6c8712d804 Change the internal data type for cell contents to a binary type
Store the data of a DB cell in a QByteArray, i.e. a binary data type,
instead of putting it in a QString, thus converting it to a UTF8 string.

Rewrite the reading and writing of DB cells to correctly handle binary
data containing 0x00 bytes.

Change the edit dialog to actually do all the data checks etc. on a
currently invisible QHexEdit widget instead of a QTextEdit.

All these changes combined make it possible to actually store binary
data without it being corrupted. You can for example import pictures
now, export them and actually open the exported file. So this is an
improvement.

=============
sqlitebrowser
=============

This is a fork from the SF project which seems to be stagnant. 

Old Project
-----------
- http://sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net
- https://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/

What it is
----------

(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

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.

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
