ANNOTATION

The extensive use of the «client-server» technology with databases made it a norm to use SQL for working with data stored in one file. Even for small local data processing tasks, software developers try to use the familiar language of working with databases. Especially for this particular use we have developed and now distribute the built-in SQLite server whose technical specifications contribute to the quick increase in its popularity.

The SQLite server is a library of functions that is built into an application. SQLite Analyzer is a tool for working with SQLite databases. It contains a graphical interface for administering SQLite databases as well as a convenient external SQL editor for creating and debugging SQL queries.

This guide is a manual for those who study and use the program SQLite Analyzer.

Purpose and features of SQLite Analyzer

Brief overview of SQLite

Purpose and features of the editor

The editor allows you to design and administer databases, create and debug

SQL queries.

Administering databases. SQLite Analyzer creates new databases and connects them to those already existing for you to quickly start working with them. The program has a tool for checking the integrity of connected databases.

Designing databases. The program features a graphical interface for creating tables, describing their structures, managing indexes, constraints, creating and debugging triggers.

Creating and debugging SQL queries. It has development tools allowing a software developer to create SQL queries, edit them and view their execution results.

Working directly with data. Working directly with databases including inputting information, extracting it from existing tables and views created for that.

SQLite Analyser features:


The editor works under Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/2003.
