SQLiteStudio is a streamlined and comprehensive SQLite database manager that makes it easy for you to manage and edit databases with the help of its useful and powerful set of tools. SQLiteStudio’s is not what you would call stylish, however it is easy to use and therefore it does the job of helping you easily manage SQLite databases without. Download SQLite sample database diagram. Download SQLite sample database diagram with color. How to connect to SQLite sample database. The sample database file is ZIP format, therefore, you need to extract it to a folder, for example, C: sqlite db. The name of the file is chinook.db. If you don’t have zip software installed, you can download.

SQLite Forensic Tools That Make A Difference!

We all enjoy the many benefits of digital technology but increased accessibility and convenience have inevitably lead to misuse. At Sanderson Forensics we offer software that gives you the expertise to uncover and analyze computer evidence buried deep within electronic data.

We don’t just use the standard ‘off the shelf’ computer forensics packages, we also write our own bespoke computer forensics investigation software.

Time and again during computer forensic and mobile forensic investigations we have been faced with data from a software package for which there have been no “off the shelf” forensic tools to help us investigate. In these circumstances, we have been able to write our own software to decode proprietary data structures and present the recovered data in a form that is meaningful and helpful to a case.

Some of this software has been further enhanced and released as commercial forensic software with thousands of licences sold worldwide.

Forensic Toolkit for SQLite

The Forensic Toolkit for SQLite includes three comprehensive software applications:

• Forensic Browser for SQLite
• Forensic Recovery for SQLite
• SQLite Forensic Explorer
• Making recovering SQLite records from disk, image and database simpler and more intuitive. These tools are an invaluable addition to any investigators toolbox.

ESE Extension for the Forensic Toolkit

Along with SQLite, the Microsoft Extensible Storage Engine (ESE) is becoming increasingly common on Windows mobile phones and desktop operating systems. ESE, also known as Jetblue or EDB DBs, is the technology that underpins these databases such as Windows search and Cortana. Running the ESE Extension is simple and easy to use.

SkypeAlyzer Forensic Tool

Analyze Skype chat logs, contact lists, SMS messages with SkypeAlyzer a forensic tool designed to work with both the old Skype database files – found in a series of .dbb files and the newer Skype database files (main.db).

Community Resources

Sanderson Forensics provides the SQLite forensics community with a host of resources to help them in their database analysis and investigation. Scroll through our support articles, community forum threads, or join the Google Group to find the answers to commonly asked questions, help with troubleshooting, and much more.

Goodbye SQLite Manager…

Late last year, I discovered that my favorite SQLite GUI was defunct. The SQLite Manager was a plugin for Firefox that allowed you to create and interact with SQLite databases with a simple yet highly functional interface. It had good support for importing and exporting csv files, color coding of cells based on data types, and a convenient feature for cycling back and forth between your SQL statements. Since it was a Firefox plugin it was guaranteed to work on any operating system, and since Firefox is installed on machines across my campus I knew I could rely on it for creating data extracts for students and faculty – I’d package data up in SQLite and send it to them along with a link to the plugin.

Firefox goes through about a million versions a year these days, and after a major upgrade last fall (to Firefox Quantum) most of the existing plugins, including the SQLite Manager, were no longer compatible. An upgrade it highly unlikely, as a few things changed under the hood of Firefox that makes the plugin unusable. While it still works on the Firefox Extended Support Release, in the long run the writing is on the wall.

Hello DB Browser for SQLite!

After searching through many alternatives I discovered the DB Browser for SQLite. It runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux and there’s a version for mobile. It was easy to install and has a clean interface. It provides a number of convenient tools and menus that you can use in place of writing SQL DDL, and in some cases it expands the functionality of SQLite by enabling a number of ALTER TABLE commands that are not part of SQLite SQL (like renaming and dropping columns). The Browse Data window makes it easy to quickly thumb through, sort, and filter records and to edit individual values by hand. The Execute SQL window has auto-complete and color-coded syntax, and you can see the database schema in one tab as you write your SQL in another (making it easy to reference table and column names). You can import and export data as CSV (or any delimited text file) or SQL files, and you can save the results of SELECT queries as CSV.

One interesting addition is that there’s actually a Save (Write Changes) and Undo button. So when you create, modify, or drop records, columns, or tables you see the result, but the act isn’t final until you commit the changes. A nice safety feature, especially for db novices.

Execute SQL and View DB Schema

I encountered a few quirks, but nothing insurmountable. I was using the nightly build version without realizing it, and when importing a CSV file the database takes a best guess as to what the data types for the columns should be. Even though the import screen gives you the option to specify that values are quoted, my quoted numeric fields were still saved as numbers and not text. As a result, ID codes like FIPS or ZIP Codes lose their leading zeros and are saved as integers.

The project is managed on github, so I went ahead and posted an issue. The developers were super responsive, and a discussion ensued over whether this behavior was desirable or not. We found two work-arounds. First, if you build an empty table with the desired structure, and then go to import the CSV, if you provide the name of that empty table as the new table name the db will import your data into that table. Alternatively, if I went and downloaded the latest stable release (3.10.1) the default behavior is that all columns are imported as text, which is a safer bet. You can use the GUI to change the types after import. The issue was marked as a bug, and will be addressed in a future release – one possible solution is to provide an option to turn the autodetect feature on (to determine what the types should be) or off (to import everything as text).

The browser also has a feature to attach a database to the current database, but when you do the attachment it appears like nothing happened – you can’t see or browse the objects in database number two. But it IS attached (you can see every statement that’s been executed in a helpful log window) and you can copy a table from one db to the other like this:

You run this within the current database, and database2 is the attached database (when you attach a db you provide an alias for referencing it).

These are minor quibbles. The DB Browser for SQLite is cross-platform, stable, has a clean interface with nice features, and is actively developed by a responsive and friendly team. I’ll be using it for all my SQLite tasks and projects, and will recommend it to others.

Spatialite?

Sqlite Manager For Mac

An alternative I considered was to simply use the Spatialite GUI for both regular and spatial databases. It also has a simple, solid, and functional interface and supports spatial SQL, giving you the best of both worlds. So why not? While it works great for my own purposes it’s not something I can recommend to new users who are not GIS folks, either in my work or in the census data book I’m writing. Just figuring out where to download it from the website is overly complex, and while there are binaries for MS Windows there are none for Mac users. You’d have to install it from the source files, which is over the top for novices. Linux users may get lucky and find it in their software repos (it’s included for Debian and Ubuntu). The database browser in QGIS has matured in recent years, so that’s another option for GIS users who want to work with Spatialite or PostGIS.

Mac Sqlite Tool

Now if we only had a good GUI for PostgreSQL… I tried pgAdmin 4 about a year ago, and it was so bad that I’m still clinging to pgAdmin III as long as it still lives. But this is a different story, and one I’ll return to and investigate fully when it comes time to teach my spatial database course next year.
