Provides for quick access to SQLite databases using a command-line interface.
SQLite is a free and open source SQLite database app and DB tool, developed by Richard Hipp for Windows. It's pretty light on system resources.
The download has been tested by an editor here on a PC.
Command line tool to manipulate SQLite databases
The SQLite project provides a simple command-line utility named sqlite3 (or sqlite3.exe on windows) that allows the user to manually enter and execute SQL statements against an SQLite database.
Most of the time, sqlite3 just reads lines of input and passes them on to the SQLite library for execution. But if an input line begins with a dot ("."), then that line is intercepted and interpreted by the sqlite3 program itself. These "dot commands" are typically used to change the output format of queries, or to execute certain prepackaged query statements.
Compatibility and License
SQLite has been released under a General Open Source license which means the software can be downloaded and distributed for free. There are other programs from database software available with different licenses like GPL or just plain closed-source freeware.
What version of Windows can SQLite run on?
SQLite can be used on a computer running Windows 11 or Windows 10. Previous versions of the OS shouldn't be a problem with Windows 8 and Windows 7 having been tested. It runs on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems with no dedicated 64-bit download provided.
