I tried a number of methods on this thread  but nothing worked for me  So here is a new solution  which I also found to be very simple    Install RazorSQL  Works for Mac  Windows and Linux  In RazorSQL connect to your database  on localhost for example  Conversion doesn t work with sql dump files    Right click on your database -  Database Conversion -  select SQLite   This will save a txt file with all the sqlite queries necessary to create this database   Install a SQLite database manager  like DB Browser for SQLite  It works on any OS   Create an empty database  go to Execute SQL tab and paste the content from step 3     That s it  now you have your SQLite database

My solution to this issue running a Mac was to   Install Ruby and sequel similar to Macario s answer  I followed this link to help setup Ruby  mysql and sqlite3 Ruby on Rails development setup for Mac OSX Install sequel     gem install sequel   If still required    gem install mysql sqlite3   then used the following based of the Sequel doc bin sequel rdoc  see Copy Database   sequel -C mysql   myUserName myPassword host databaseName sqlite   myConvertedDatabaseName sqlite    A windows user could install Ruby and Sequel for a windows solution

I found the perfect solution  First  you need this script  put it into a file called  mysql-to-sqlite sh        bin bash if    x 1      x     then   echo  Usage   0  lt dumpname gt     exit fi  cat  1   grep -v   KEY      grep -v   UNIQUE KEY      grep -v   PRIMARY KEY     sed    SET d    sed  s  unsigned    g    sed  s  auto increment  primary key autoincrement g    sed  s  smallint  0-9      integer  g    sed  s  tinyint  0-9      integer  g    sed  s  int  0-9      integer  g    sed  s  character set          g    sed  s  enum          varchar 255   g    sed  s  on update        g    sed  s   r  n   n g    sed  s       g    perl -e  local        lt  gt  s   n    n   gs print  begin  n  print print  commit  n     perl -pe   if     INSERT              a  1    s               g    s   n  n g    s           n a   g       gt   1 sql cat  1 sql   sqlite3  1 db  gt   1 err ERRORS  cat  1 err   wc -l  if    ERRORS    0    then   echo  Conversion completed without error  Output file   1 db    rm  1 sql   rm  1 err else   echo  There were errors during conversion   Please review  1 err and  1 sql for details   fi   Then  dump a copy of your database   you prompt    mysqldump -u root -p --compatible ansi --skip-opt generator  gt  dumpfile   And now  run the conversion   you prompt    mysql-to-sqlite sh dumpfile   And if all goes well  you should now have a dumpfile db which can be used via sqlite3   you prompt    sqlite3 dumpfile db  SQLite version 3 6 10 Enter   help  for instructions Enter SQL statements terminated with a     sqlite gt   tables dg cities                 dg forms                  dg surnames              dg counties               dg provinces              dg user accounts         dg countries              dg provinces netherlands dg first names            dg states

From list of converter tools I found Kexi  It is a UI tool to import from various DB servers  including MySQL  into SQLite  When importing some database  say from MySQL  it stores it in Kexi format  The Kexi format is the  native  SQLite format  So simply copy the kexi file and have your data in sqlite format

Here is a list of converters   snapshot at archive today     An alternative method that would work even on windows but is rarely mentioned is  use an ORM class that abstracts specific database differences away for you   e g  you get these in PHP  RedBean   Python  Django s ORM layer  Storm  SqlAlchemy   Ruby on Rails  ActiveRecord   Cocoa  CoreData  etc   i e  you could do this    Load data from source database using the ORM class  Store data in memory or serialize to disk  Store data into destination database using the ORM class

I faced the same problem about 2 days ago when I had to convert a 20GB  MySQL database to SQLite  It was by no means an easy task and I ended up writing this Python package that does the job   The upside of it being written in Python is that it s cross platform  unlike a shell bash script  and can all be easily installed using pip install  even on Windows   It uses generators and chunking of the data being processed and is therefore very memory efficient   I also put in some effort to correctly translate most of the datatypes from MySQL to SQLite   The tool is also thoroughly tested and works on Python 2 7 and 3 5    It is invokable via command line but can also be used as a standard Python class which you can include in some larger Python orchestration   Here s how you use it   Usage  mysql2sqlite  OPTIONS   Options    -f  --sqlite-file PATH     SQLite3 database file   required    -d  --mysql-database TEXT  MySQL database name   required    -u  --mysql-user TEXT      MySQL user   required    -p  --mysql-password TEXT  MySQL password   -h  --mysql-host TEXT      MySQL host  Defaults to localhost    -P  --mysql-port INTEGER   MySQL port  Defaults to 3306    -c  --chunk INTEGER        Chunk reading writing SQL records   -l  --log-file PATH        Log file   -V  --vacuum               Use the VACUUM command to rebuild the SQLite                              database file  repacking it into a minimal amount                              of disk space   --use-buffered-cursors     Use MySQLCursorBuffered for reading the MySQL                              database  This can be useful in situations where                              multiple queries  with small result sets  need to                              be combined or computed with each other    --help                     Show this message and exit

If you have been given a database file and have not installed the correct server  either SQLite or MySQL   try this tool  https   dbconvert com sqlite mysql  The trial version allows converting the first 50 records of each table  the rest of the data is watermarked  This is a Windows program  and can either dump into a running database server  or can dump output to a  sql file

Not every DB schema can be converted  MySQL is more complex and feature-rich than SQLite  However  if your schema is simple enough  you could dump it into an SQL file and try to import it   load it into an SQLite DB

If you have experience write simple scripts by Perl Python etc  and convert MySQL to SQLite  Read data from Mysql and write it on SQLite

I like the SQLite2009 Pro Enterprise Manager suggested by Jfly  However     The MySQL datatype INT is not converted to SQlite datatype INTEGER  works with DBeaver   It does not import foreign key constaints from MySQL  I could not find any tool that supports the transfer of foreign key constraints from MySQL to SQlite
