Well I figured I better make my approach to an SQLite tool visible since there seems to have been a few others released lately
So here is my contribution…
Tadpole for SQLite will soon be released for both macOS and Windows, Written in 100% Xojo it offers many features found in tools costing a lot more.
Some of the features to be found in Tadpole
Syntax Highlighting
Ability to create/delete/alter Tables (the Alter Table is the last feature in works for now)
Ability to create/delete/alter Indexes
Ability to create/delete/alter Triggers
Ability to create/delete/alter Views
Ability to view/edit tables with Millions of records
Import from CSV tables with most common delimiter types
Export to CSV tables
Export to JSON
Export to HTML
Export to Microsoft Excel (even under macOS)
ability to attach up to 10 databases together
ability to run SQL Scripts (mulitiple statements in one query)
full ability to load/save SQL Scripts
built in SQL “Pretty” formatter
Add/Delete/Edit rows
user has full control over Fonts, colors
and much more
In this Beta version, the ALTER TABLE feature only supports adding new columns. A full featured ALTER TABLE in currently in work and will be in a soon to be released version. This is a time limited evaluation copy (15 days).
Once released, it will offer a one time fee for a LIFETIME license. And future versions are scheduled to have things such as Visual Query Builder, Data Visualization, Foreign Key support, built in reports and perhaps other features…
[quote=336085:@Beatrix Willius]Grin… that happens to me for ALL new versions of my app. Don’t you have handler for this? All methods in my apps have
exception exc
theException = new ErrorException(exc, currentMethodName)
in it. This cleans the stack, writes everything to a log file, shows the user a nice window and offers to send all files to me.[/quote]
It does now
I may very well have modified it although there is nothing obvious. I did download a fresh copy and do not have the problem.
One other issue is a couple of times when I quit the app confirmed my wanting to disconnect and they quit but I got the system message about The application quit unexpectedly - do you want to send data… May or may not be related.
Let me know if you want the copy that caused the NOE.
Something weird going on. I’ve got 6 databases that it can not open - yet all my other tools open them with no problem. One is another standard database “Sakila” and the other 5 are client projects.
Well I think I found the “cause”…
I cannot get Chinook to not open… I have opened, closed, open again… shut Tadpole down, and it opens each time.
But Sakalia will open in my dev copy, but NOT in the AppWrapped version???
If I compile and don’t wrap it … seems to be no problem (And the Win10 version obviously isn’t “wrapped”)
Anyone know if AppWrapper might have some switch that causes something like this?
Isn’t that what AppWrapper is all about?
Why would that be an issue? It can open other databases sitting right next to this one that it cannot connect to
Plus. to qualify for the AppStore it has to be sandboxed
no, just a suspicion… .shm and/or .wal - files could be involved
opening a sqlite file may want/need to write these files - which the user hasn’t allowed in the sandboxed version.
I’m looking at your entitlements in AppWrapper. You don’t need access to the Downloads folder with a SQLite app, you’ll likely get rejected for that.
Jürg is probably right on the nose. To get the desired behavior, you’ll have to find out how to tell SQLite to use a different temporary location to sandbox your app properly.
