## What it is
|
|
|
|
_DB Browser for SQLite_ (DB4S) is a high quality, visual, open source tool to
|
|
create, design, and edit database files compatible with SQLite.
|
|
|
|
It is for users and developers wanting to create databases, search, and edit
|
|
data. It uses a familiar spreadsheet-like interface, and you don't need to
|
|
learn complicated SQL commands.
|
|
|
|
Controls and wizards are available for users to:
|
|
|
|
* Create and compact database files
|
|
* Create, define, modify and delete tables
|
|
* Create, define and delete indexes
|
|
* Browse, edit, add and delete records
|
|
* Search records
|
|
* Import and export records as text
|
|
* Import and export tables from/to CSV files
|
|
* Import and export databases from/to SQL dump files
|
|
* Issue SQL queries and inspect the results
|
|
* Examine a log of all SQL commands issued by the application
|
|
* Plot simple graphs based on table or query data
|
|
|
|
## What it is not
|
|
|
|
This program is not a visual shell for the sqlite command line tool. It does
|
|
not require familiarity with SQL commands. It is a tool to be used both by
|
|
developers and by end users, and it must remain as simple to use as possible
|
|
in order to achieve its goals.

## Wiki
|
|
|
|
For documentation, for users as well as for developers, check out our Wiki at
|
|
https://github.com/sqlitebrowser/sqlitebrowser/wiki.
|
|
|
|
## Nightly builds
|
|
|
|
Nightly builds for Windows and OSX can be downloaded here:
|
|
|
|
* https://nightlies.sqlitebrowser.org/latest
|
|
|
|
## Windows
|
|
|
|
Windows releases can be downloaded here:
|
|
|
|
* https://github.com/sqlitebrowser/sqlitebrowser/releases
|
|
|
|
**Note** - If for some reason the standard Windows release doesn't work for
|
|
you (eg it gives an error), try a nightly build. They often fix bugs
|
|
reported after the last release. :D
|
|
|
|
## MacOS X / macOS
|
|
|
|
DB Browser for SQLite works well on MacOS X / macOS.
|
|
|
|
* OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) - 10.13 (High Sierra) are tested and known to work
|
|
|
|
OSX releases can be downloaded here:
|
|
|
|
* https://github.com/sqlitebrowser/sqlitebrowser/releases
|
|
|
|
Latest OSX binary can be installed via [Homebrew Cask](https://caskroom.github.io/ "Homebrew Cask"):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
brew cask install db-browser-for-sqlite
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Linux
|
|
|
|
DB Browser for SQLite works well on Linux.
|
|
|
|
### Arch Linux
|
|
|
|
Arch Linux provides a package through pacman.
|
|
|
|
### Fedora
|
|
|
|
For Fedora (i386 and x86_64) you can install by issuing:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo dnf install sqlitebrowser
|
|
|
|
### Debian
|
|
|
|
Note that Debian focuses more on stability rather than newest features. Therefore packages will typically contain some older (but well tested) version, compared to the latest release.
|
|
|
|
Update the cache using:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
|
|
Install the package using:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install sqlitebrowser
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Ubuntu and Derivatives
|
|
|
|
#### Stable release
|
|
|
|
For Ubuntu and derivaties, [@deepsidhu1313](https://github.com/deepsidhu1313)
|
|
provides a PPA with our latest release here:
|
|
|
|
* https://launchpad.net/~linuxgndu/+archive/ubuntu/sqlitebrowser
|
|
|
|
To add this ppa just type in these commands in terminal:
|
|
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:linuxgndu/sqlitebrowser
|
|
|
|
Then update the cache using:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
|
|
Install the package using:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install sqlitebrowser
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu 14.04.X, 15.04.X, 15.10.X and 16.04.X are supported for now (until
|
|
Launchpad decides to discontinue building for any series).
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu Precise (12.04) and Utopic (14.10) are not supported:
|
|
* Precise doesn't have a new enough Qt package in its repository by default,
|
|
which is a dependency
|
|
* Launchpad doesn't support Utopic any more, as that has reached its End of
|
|
Life
|
|
|
|
#### Nightly builds
|
|
|
|
Nightly builds are available here:
|
|
|
|
* https://launchpad.net/~linuxgndu/+archive/ubuntu/sqlitebrowser-testing
|
|
|
|
To add this ppa just type in these commands in terminal:
|
|
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:linuxgndu/sqlitebrowser-testing
|
|
|
|
Then update the cache using:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
|
|
Install the package using:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install sqlitebrowser
|
|
|
|
### Other Linux
|
|
|
|
On others you'll need to compile it yourself using the (simple) instructions
|
|
in [BUILDING.md](BUILDING.md).
|
|
|
|
## FreeBSD
|
|
|
|
DB Browser for SQLite works well on FreeBSD, and there is a port for it (thanks
|
|
to [lbartoletti](https://github.com/lbartoletti) :smile:). It can be installed
|
|
using either this:
|
|
|
|
# make -C /usr/ports/databases/sqlitebrowser install
|
|
|
|
or this:
|
|
|
|
# pkg install sqlitebrowser
|
|
|
|
### Compiling
|
|
|
|
Instructions for compiling on (at least) Windows, OSX, Linux, and FreeBSD are
|
|
in [BUILDING](BUILDING.md).

## History
|
|
|
|
This program was developed originally by Mauricio Piacentini
|
|
([@piacentini](https://github.com/piacentini)) from Tabuleiro Producoes, as
|
|
the Arca Database Browser. The original version was used as a free companion
|
|
tool to the Arca Database Xtra, a commercial product that embeds SQLite
|
|
databases with some additional extensions to handle compressed and binary data.
|
|
|
|
The original code was trimmed and adjusted to be compatible with standard
|
|
SQLite 2.x databases. The resulting program was renamed SQLite Database
|
|
Browser, and released into the Public Domain by Mauricio. Icons were
|
|
contributed by [Raquel Ravanini](http://www.raquelravanini.com), also from
|
|
Tabuleiro. Jens Miltner ([@jmiltner](https://github.com/jmiltner)) contributed
|
|
the code to support SQLite 3.x databases for the 1.2 release.
|
|
|
|
Pete Morgan ([@daffodil](https://github.com/daffodil)) created an initial
|
|
project on GitHub with the code in 2012, where several contributors fixed and
|
|
improved pieces over the years. René Peinthor ([@rp-](https://github.com/rp-))
|
|
and Martin Kleusberg ([@MKleusberg](https://github.com/MKleusberg)) then
|
|
became involved, and have been the main driving force from that point. Justin
|
|
Clift ([@justinclift](https://github.com/justinclift)) helps out with testing
|
|
on OSX, and started the new github.com/sqlitebrowser organisation on GitHub.
|
|
|
|
[John T. Haller](http://johnhaller.com), of
|
|
[PortableApps.com](http://portableapps.com) fame, created the new logo. He
|
|
based it on the Tango icon set (public domain).
|
|
|
|
In August 2014, the project was renamed to "Database Browser for SQLite" at
|
|
the request of [Richard Hipp](http://www.hwaci.com/drh) (creator of
|
|
[SQLite](http://sqlite.org)), as the previous name was creating unintended
|
|
support issues.
|
|
|
|
In September 2014, the project was renamed to "DB Browser for SQLite", to
|
|
avoid confusion with an existing application called "Database Browser".
