How To Explore SQLite Database Using Free Viewer

by Fiona Smith EXplore And Gain

SQLite is a database management system that is embedded on an end program. Unlike other DBMS, it is not based on the ideal client server relationship. Being the most widely used database system it is deployed in a vast number of applications like web browsers, operating systems and programming languages.

The foremost criteria required to access a SQLite database is that the database should be in a healthy condition. In case the above criteria is not met, it becomes impossible to access SQLite database manually. Therefore, as an alternative, third party viewers can be used to read SQLite database.  In this blog we will suggest the methods by which we can explore SQLite database using free viewer.

Read SQLite Database With DB Browser

·         DB Browser for SQLite is an open-source tool used to view, edit and access files that are compatible with SQLite. Different users and developers can use this browser for exploring and creating applications deploying SQLite as their database format.

·         Apart from DB Browsers, Mozilla offers its users a free add-on with the help of which a user can access SQLite database without any difficulty.

·         Additionally pre-installed EXE files in Linux, Mac and Windows machine are can be used to access SQLite database. These open-source command line tools can be run in the user machine and enable the user to make required changes in the database.

Limitation: All the three resources discussed above, can efficiently enable the user to access SQLite database. But the caveat to this is that all these tools/methods do not support damaged or corrupted SQLite database. In case your database turns out to be corrupted somehow, the data residing in the database will not be accessible by the DB Browser or by EXE files.

How to Explore SQLite Database Using Free Viewer

What if the SQLite database file that you need to access is not in a healthy state?  No application mentioned in the above section can help you out in such a scenario. Therefore, in order to access a corrupt SQLite database file you can deploy a free viewer like SQLite Viewer. The tool gives its users the facility to access SQLite database even if it’s in a corrupted or inaccessible state. It imposes no limitation on the size of the SQLite database that is to be accessed and is the most efficient SQLite database viewer.
