Base - SQLite Editor 4+

After I open a database, sometimes I can double-click a data record to open an edit window so I can change data, but usually usually I can’t. Double-clicking only selects the text under the mouse as if I’m copy/pasting. It’s very unpredictable. Going through the “Alter” process for the record also does not let me change the data. The SQL database was originally created by the PhatNotes iPhone/iPad app, which is quite old and no longer supported, perhaps this has something to do with this issue? However, other SQL editors I’ve tried on MacOS don’t have any trouble accessing and modifying record data in this database. I haven’t tried this function with any other SQL databases. The reason I bought this app was specifically to deal with the above-mentioned iPad/iPhone database, which is critical to me and which I was forced to migrate to MacOS. FYI, I used iFunBox on Windows to retrieve the SQL file from the PhatNotes sandbox on the original iPad, since the data transmission facilities in PhatNotes had stopped working following an iOS upgrade.

There's some problems that I've been running into in the latest version that are frustrating to get around. For example, if there's an error in the SQL, the app warns you, but you can't dismiss the dialog, which means you have to quit the entire app. There's abundnant quirkiness when creating tables (field names not being saved, not remembering column attributes); so much so that I finally gave up and did it via commandline.

So it's a nice app for viewing your data and simple interaction, but not for playing around with SQL statements or anything advanced. Which is unfortunate, because I really, really, really like the app.

Purchased this to ease transition from a number of Numbers spreadsheets into SQLite. Every time I try the import function into a New table, it gives and error and aborts. Tried creating a table to match the spreadsheet and import into existing table. Does nothing. Not at all what I was looking for and not worth the price.
