Sqlitestudio

SQLiteStudio is an open-source graphical tool for browsing, editing, and managing SQLite database files. It combines a full-featured SQL editor with syntax highlighting, a visual database schema designer for creating entity-relationship diagrams, and a plugin-based extensibility platform that allows adding custom functionality through C/C++, JavaScript, Tcl, or Python.

The application distinguishes itself through its multi-language scripting engine, which embeds JavaScript, Tcl, and Python interpreters to enable user-defined functions and scripts within SQL queries. It supports encrypted database access using multiple cipher formats, drag-and-drop SQL generation for creating SELECT or UPDATE statements, and a grid-based data editing interface with inline cell editing, filtering, and selective commit or rollback of changes. The MDI document management system organizes database windows for simultaneous editing, while the plugin architecture allows extending core functionality through shared libraries.

Beyond its core database management capabilities, SQLiteStudio provides comprehensive data import and export across formats including CSV, JSON, XML, HTML, SQL, and PDF. It includes tools for data population with test data generation, cross-table string search, and cross-database object copying or moving. The SQL editor offers automatic code completion, continuous syntax analysis, query history browsing, and SQL formatting with configurable options. Users can also load external SQLite extension libraries and create custom collation sequences or SQL functions.
