Native SQLite Manager 4+

Fun little app that kees getting better!

The developer is incrementally improving this app. He's giving it away for free which is such a great service to other developers. Improvements are that you can double click on a table name and it shows SELECT * and shows the entries in a standard table. Has anyone notice you can edit cells in the outpur? You can, so quick little fixes can be done by hand.

I'd add the keyboard editing doesn't conform to standard tabular navigatin. Arrow keys do go from cell to cell, but when text is selected the arrow keys will leave the cell. The behavior of the numbers app with filled cells would be good to emulate. I'd implement Command-C and Command-V for full lines or columns. An interesting addition would be for a paste into an insert command format the data so insert will take it, like quoting strings intelligently. Just some ideas. The app is my go to for quick checks on SQLITE3 files.

Very Handy and Great Updates

An extremely handy and versitile tool. I use for examaning sqlite tables generated by Core Data within apps that I am buildng.

Really appreciate the frequent and useful updates -- most recenty the ability to display numeric columns as a readable date (when the column contains date data as seconds since some time interval).

Minimalist apparently means near useless

No table editors or other smart tools - fine.
You need to do everything through SQL and it has some basic SQL generators to get ALTER, CREATE, etc. SQL for existing tables and it has the object tree on the left that allows you browse the structure. The options and info are more limited than any of the free tools like DBeaver Community Edition, SQLite Browser, etc. but we can chalk that up to an immature product and maybe not everyone uses those options so we'll call that "minimalist".

So this is a tool that requires any serious work to be done with the SQL editor. Fine? You would think so, but if that's the main method to get things done, why the **** can't you save or open SQL files? You literally have type or copy/paste all of the SQL in every time you want it there. And no there aren't multiple editors windows or tabs available. You just have the one. Are you kidding me? That's not minimalist or immature, that's staggeringly basic functionality that's missing.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the criticism. You're right, it's an app mainly for database view with some unique features that I couldn't find in other apps. Maybe I should describe the application in more detail.
But you didn't notice one thing, the tabs can be opened with the standard cmd+t shortcut.
