Mac SQLite editor [closed]

Answer 1

That FireFox extension looks pretty nice. I've used SQLite Browser in the past and it did the job.

Answer 2

You may try Navicat. It used to have a free "Lite" version whih is unfortunately not available any more. The pro version supports several important DB engines, not only SQLite. I am currently using the 30-day free eval version.

Answer 3

MesaSQLite is the best I've found so far.

Looks very promising indeed.

Answer 4

Sqliteman is my current preference: It uses QT, so it's cross-platform. Since I develop on Windows, Linux and OS X, it helps to have the same tools available on each.

I also tried SQLite Admin (Windows, so irrelevant to the question anyway) for a while, but it seems unmaintained these days, and has the most annoying hotkeys of any application I've ever used - Ctrl-S clears the current query, with no hope of undo.

Answer 5

SQLite Manager for FireFox

Answer 6

I use Liya from the Mac App Store, it's free, does the job, and the project is maintained (a month or so between updates as of Jan 2013).

I also test a lot on the device. You can access the SQLITE database on the device by:

1. Add Application supports iTunes file sharing to the info.plist and setting it to YES
2. Running the app on a device
3. Open iTunes
4. Select the device
5. Select the "Apps" tab
6. Scroll down to the "File Sharing" section and select the app
7. The .sqlite file should appear in the right hand pane - select it and "Save to..."
8. Once it's saved open it up in your favourite SQLITE editor

You can also edit it and copy it back.

EDIT: You can also do this through the Organizer in XCode

1. Open the Organizer in XCode (Window > Organiser)
2. Select the "Devices" tab
3. Expand the device on the left that you want to download/upload data to
4. Select Applications
5. Select an Application in the main panel
6. The panel at the bottom (Data files in Sandbox) will update with all the files within that application
7. Choose Download and save it somewhere
8. Find the file in Finder
9. Right click and select "Show Package Contents"

You can now view, edit, and re-upload the package to your debug device. This can be really handy for keeping snapshots of different states to try out on other devices.
