Open a password protected sqlite database

Question

I have created a password protected sqlite database. I want to be able to view the database so that I can check that things are being inserted correctly during the developme

Answer 1

The free SQLite2009 Pro browser will let you open SQLite databases which were encrypted with System.Data.SQLite.

When you open the file you get a warning saying that the file is encrypted or not a database, and are then prompted to select an encryption type, select "RSA".

Edit:

You may find SQLite2009 Pro is not as reliable as sqliteadmin (which does not open databases encrypted with System.Data.SQLite). I just found it crashed upon trying to open a database which had a problem with one of the views.

I ended up removing the encryption, and opening it with sqliteadmin, which did not crash but instead put a little red cross over the view which had a problem. What a nice touch :-)

Answer 2

You can open and create a password protected sqlite database with SQLiteStudio:
