What it is
DB Browser for SQLite 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
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.

History
This program was developed originally by Mauricio Piacentini (@piacentini) from Tabuleiro Producoes, as the Arca Database Browser. The original version was used as a free companion tool to the Arca Database Xtra, a commercial product that embeds SQLite databases with some additional extensions to handle compressed and binary data.
The original code was trimmed and adjusted to be compatible with standard SQLite 2.x databases. The resulting program was renamed SQLite Database Browser, and released into the Public Domain by Mauricio. Icons were contributed by Raquel Ravanini, also from Tabuleiro. Jens Miltner (@jmiltner) contributed the code to support SQLite 3.x databases for the 1.2 release.
Pete Morgan (@daffodil) created an initial project on GitHub with the code in 2012, where several contributors fixed and improved pieces over the years. René Peinthor (@rp-) and Martin Kleusberg (@MKleusberg) then became involved, and have been the main driving force from that point. Justin Clift (@justinclift) helps out with testing on OSX, and started the new github.com/sqlitebrowser organisation on GitHub.
John T. Haller, of PortableApps.com fame, created the new logo. He based it on the Tango icon set (public domain).
In August 2014, the project was renamed to «Database Browser for SQLite» at the request of Richard Hipp (creator of SQLite), as the previous name was creating unintended support issues.
In September 2014, the project was renamed to «DB Browser for SQLite», to avoid confusion with an existing application called «Database Browser».

DB Browser for SQLite
DB Browser for SQLite (DB4S) is a high quality, visual, open source tool to create, design, and edit database files compatible with SQLite.
DB4S is for users and developers who want to create, search, and edit databases. DB4S uses a familiar spreadsheet-like interface, so complicated SQL commands do not have to be learned.
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
Even though DB4S comes with a spreadsheet-like interface, it is not meant to replace your spreadsheet application. We implement a few convenience functions which go beyond a simple database frontend but do not add them when they do not make sense in a database context or are so complex to implement that they will only ever be a poor replacement for your favorite spreadsheet application. We are a small team with limited time after all. Thanks for your understanding 🙂

Packages for Older Ubuntu releases are supported while launchpad keeps building those or if Older Ubuntu release has dependency packages that are required to build the latest version of Sqlitebrowser. We don’t remove builds from our ppa repos, so users can still install older version of sqlitebrowser if they like. Alternatively Linux users can also switch to Snap packages if Snap packages are supported by the distro they are using.
