datasette VS sqlitebrowser

Simon Willison's github would be a great place to get started imo -

https://github.com/simonw/datasette

I'm a fan on simonw's datasette/dogsheep ecosystem https://datasette.io/

I use Anki the exact same way. After a lifetime of learning I have accepted that I will never read over anything I write for myself voluntarily - so my two options are:

1. Write an article so good I can publish it and look it over myself later on. I did this last year with https://andrew-quinn.me/fzf/, for example.

2. Create Anki cards out of the material. Use the builtin Card Browser or even https://datasette.io/ on the underlying SQLite database in a pinch to search for my notes any time I have to.

Were you aware of, or tempted by https://datasette.io/ for creating your solution?

Browsing HN, GitHub and the like we get to see a huge variety of software products and code bases.

I often see products and think - if this product X, got together with Y, it would be pretty cool - kind of like if they had a kid together.

Not too literally, but more on the conceptual level - my level of programming is low.

E.g. Just some....

- pocketable.io & datasette (+with some more charting) [https://pocketbase.io, https://datasette.io]

You might like the Datasette project: https://datasette.io/

I don't think they are desperate for contributions but it's a welcoming environment and a fun project to hack on. You'll learn a lot just from reading the source and the incredibly informative PRs. The creator is a really talented developer with a great blog which shows up on the HN front page often.

Last year I worked through the challenges using VisiData, Datasette, and Pandas. I walked through my thought process and solutions in a series of posts.

We have a spread of different GitHub Actions based workflows that do stuff whenever a PR is proposed or merged:

https://github.com/sqlitebrowser/sqlitebrowser/tree/master/....

Most of those are oriented around building packages for various OS's (Linux, macOS, Windows) so people can try the latest code.

While there are some tests, they're more like extremely basic sanity tests and don't rely on Docker.

Those tests rely on whichever version of SQLite was downloaded and compiled into the GUI (as per above code snippet).

That being said, that's for the client side GUI application. There's a server side of things too (https://github.com/sqlitebrowser/dbhub.io -> dbhub.io) that does use docker for it's automated tests:

https://github.com/sqlitebrowser/dbhub.io/tree/master/.githu...

Those are integration tests though (eg "make sure we didn't bust communication with our cli", "make sure our go library still works 100% with the server"), and a reasonably decent set of End to End (E2E) tests of the web interface using Cypress.

Does that help? :)

Do you know about SQLite DB Browser ? It's a multi platform application that would perfectly fit your use case :).

https://sqlitebrowser.org/

Someone gave you a sqlite database. You probably started to think to install a program like sqlitebrowser, but only to view and read the data. Don't bother, you can use this extension instead.

Try https://sqlitebrowser.org/ it’s great for local use and training purposes

You can see how the db file looks for the app using https://sqlitebrowser.org/

If you want to fiddle with SQLite and don't need all the power herein, I recommend DB Browser for SQLite.

Hello y'all. This is my first post here. I'm learning SQL with the Northwind database. When I run a "big" query, like "SELECT * FROM Customers" the application crashes. I noticed this only happens when I run a general query, for example, if I run something more specific (and, by the hand "smaller") it doesn't happen. So, I thought it could be related to the size of the query. But I'm a total beginner so idk. It doesn't happen every time I try to use it, but still, this is frustrating. If there's no solution, what other SQL application can I use to keep learning? I found something on GitHub but this is for an older macOS version.
