sqlitebrowser

Official home of the DB Browser for SQLite (DB4S) project. Previously known as "SQLite Database Browser" and "Database Browser for SQLite". Website at: https://sqlitebrowser.org

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.

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:

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 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.

FreeBSD

DB Browser for SQLite works well on FreeBSD, and there is a port for it (thanks to lbartoletti 😄). 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.
