[sqlite] How to open .SQLite files

I'm trying to open a .sqlite file on Windows, but I don't know how to. Do you know a good program for it?

It contains data for statistical analysis, but I prefer having a .txt file.

I also have a .spatialite file. Can you help me?

The answer is


If you just want to see what's in the database without installing anything extra, you might already have SQLite CLI on your system. To check, open a command prompt and try:

sqlite3 database.sqlite

Replace database.sqlite with your database file. Then, if the database is small enough, you can view the entire contents with:

sqlite> .dump

Or you can list the tables:

sqlite> .tables

Regular SQL works here as well:

sqlite> select * from some_table;

Replace some_table as appropriate.


SQLite is database engine, .sqlite or .db should be a database. If you don't need to program anything, you can use a GUI like sqlitebrowser or anything like that to view the database contents.

There is also spatialite, https://www.gaia-gis.it/fossil/spatialite_gui/index


My favorite:

No installation needed. Just drop the file.
