# DB Browser for SQLite
|
|
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/sqlitebrowser/sqlitebrowser)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## What it is
|
|
|
|
DB Browser for SQLite 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
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
|
|
## Windows
|
|
|
|
Windows binaries can be downloaded from here:
|
|
|
|
* https://github.com/sqlitebrowser/sqlitebrowser/releases
|
|
|
|
Nightly builds (uncompress them with [7-Zip](http://www.7-zip.org)) are
|
|
available at:
|
|
|
|
* http://rp.oldsch00l.com/sqlitebrowser/
|
|
|
|
## MacOS X
|
|
|
|
DB Browser for SQLite works well on MacOS X.
|
|
|
|
* OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) - 10.10 (Yosemite) are tested and known to work
|
|
|
|
OSX binaries can be downloaded from here:
|
|
|
|
* https://github.com/sqlitebrowser/sqlitebrowser/releases
|
|
|
|
Nightly builds for OSX are available at:
|
|
|
|
* http://mirror.salasaga.org/sqlitebrowser/nightly/
|
|
|
|
## Linux
|
|
|
|
DB Browser for SQLite works well on Linux.
|
|
* Arch Linux provides a package through pacman
|
|
* For Ubuntu and derivaties, [@deepsidhu1313](https://github.com/deepsidhu1313)
|
|
provides a PPA with our latest release here:
|
|
* https://launchpad.net/~linuxgndu/+archive/ubuntu/sqlitebrowser
|
|
* For Fedora version 21, 22, 23 and rawhide (i386 and x86_64), [@logocomune](https://github.com/logocomune)
|
|
provides rpm with our latest release here:
|
|
* https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/logocomune/sqlitebrowser/
|
|
|
|
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".
