I took some times yesterday to add a Save to a SQLite db file feature * to my List manager and it went fine.
Once done, the generated file was 455KB and I assumed everything went OK,BUT the usual question arise: what do I store in the data base file ?
Then I recall an application I shared here on August 30, 2015here (OS X and WIndows).
I found a version, run it, load my .sqlite file (the file have to have this type extension) and was happy to see my three Tables and the sqlite_master (SQLIte) own table: everything was created and saved OK.
There is a second window that allows to decrypt the SQLite file properties (Header String, Page Size, File Change Counter, etc.). Nice.
I am proud to wrote this application and this is the reason I created this new conversation: let you know you can use it instead of searching anywhere to get say a Firefox plugin or
Nota: the application only let you watch what is in the .sqlite file. IF you cannot open your SQLite file, check its type extension and eventually change it (temporary) to .sqlite.
Also: I do not recall its status and I am quite sure that it can be modified to be better, far better. If you have suggestions, drop a message.
Enjoy.
The Open feature will come later this week (I hope).
On the other hand, I do not had a sqlite db file with so many Tables.
I recall something: at some stage, on some tables (empty ?), the application crashed. I will test that this afternoon with the project I have (I do not know if this project is the last or the last died in a Hard Disk formatin last september.
The other window works fine.
PS: I do not have this version yesterday, at home, so sorry.
I uploaded minutes ago a new version that does not crash if the RecordSet is empty --> Select a Table leads to a crash for both OS X and Windows.
BTW: if you want to watch the data or the CREATE TABLE used in the .sqlite and .db files (created with SQLite), you can Copy the entry from the ListBox (right of the window).
Before I forgot: I added .db and .rdb as type extensions so now these can be opened without changing them to .sqlite.
I took the opportunity to remove a lot of things not related to the application purpose (line icons for txt and csv files ).
While I tested and retested the OS X version yesterday evening, I just realized that I do not took the time to do so on WIndows (I was really tired yesterday and slept as soon as I was in bed leavint the computer on nap for the whole night.
As usual, if something wrong appears, feel free to tell me (with how to replicate it if possible).
Actually, I am asking myself if the trouble comes because I load the whole Table contents into the ListBox.
I was not in good mood yesterday, and I only added two features: save to text the list of Tables and the selected Table contents (what for ?). While driving my car, earlier, I was thinking that: what if the amount of loaded data is producing the crash ?
[after re-reading Richard answer] It does not seems so. My generated file only holds three Tables, one really have data, the other two have only one Row. All what I stocked into the file are text data (yes, some are dates, but stored as text).
BTW: sqlitebrowser.org is far different (and far matured) vs what Ive done. I believe that I already go to that web site (the screen shot recalls me something).
My goal was not that ambitious: at first, I only wanted to not run Firefox and use the db extension there to watch what data base file I created, before I try to read that file. I do not like to have Firefox running all the time
13421 Framework » All ListBoxes now support up to 256 visible columns.
BUT, its my fault: I had to make a check on the number of columns even if I never used more than a bunch (far less than 64) since REALbasic 1 (if it had db stuff in it at the time)
I add two buttons: one that save the db structure, one that save the db properties (one for each window).
I am working on another project that use SQLIte and had troubles with its contents. Now, I savethe Data Base structure (a file I create !) and can refer to it easilly ;-:).
I also add a check at open time: only < 64 columns display is allowed. If your db have more columns, no data will be displayed.
I cannot build withXojo 15r4 or more recent, thus the 64 cols max test. (I do not know how to work around the display issue).
BTW: someone knows why the ending semi-colon is useless ? *
sql = "CREATE TABLE Team (ID INTEGER NOT NULL, Name TEXT, Coach TEXT, City TEXT, PRIMARY KEY(ID));" (from docs).
the ending semi-colon in the line above.
The CREATE TABLE line(s) stored in sqlite files does not show it, so one day, I checked if it is needed and I removed it from my CREATE TABLE line: the Table was created, etc.
