SQLite

Open and inspect SQLite database files directly in Athas.

Updated

On this page

SQLite support is built into Athas for local database files.

Open SQLite Files

Open a .db, .sqlite, or .sqlite3 file from the file tree or with the athas CLI. Athas opens the file in a database tab automatically.

What You Can Do

  • Browse tables and views
  • Inspect columns and schema details
  • Filter and search table data
  • Edit rows and cells where supported
  • Run SQL queries
  • Copy or export result data when available

Notes

SQLite files are opened directly from disk. They are not saved as network database connections in Settings > Database.

First query

Start with a read query to confirm the connection and inspect the database:

sql
SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type = 'table';

Troubleshooting

Back up the database file before edits. If it is locked, check which other process has it open.

See Database viewer for shared connection and editing behavior.
