postgresql-embedded VS sqlitebrowser

> In contrast to many other database management systems, SQLite is not a client-server database engine, but you actually very rarely need that. If your application software runs on the same physical machine as the database, which is what most small to medium sized web applications does, then you probably only need SQLite.

Disagree.

If you think about it from an attack surface perspective, there are numerous advantages to isolating the database. There are performance, availability, sharding, and columnar options out there also that may better meet the use-case (just to name a few). I have ran Postgres on endpoints when developing with performance akin to SQLite. Further, there are numerous ways in which to increase performance, availability, or to pursue some of the more customized versions of Postgres depending on use-case. One of the times I used Postgres was with Oracle DBAs, and they found the transition pretty simple.

Various customizations / extensions / versions of PG

There are security versions e.g. https://www.crunchydata.com/products/hardened-postgres

Columnar / high performance Parallelized extensions e.g. https://www.citusdata.com/product

General Purpose / Oracle transitions e.g. https://www.citusdata.com/product

Yandex even has an embedded Postgres https://github.com/yandex-qatools/postgresql-embedded

If you'd like to see a full list of features see https://www.postgresql.org/about/featurematrix/

More than this though, PG has a really excellent community with a large amount of talented folks, available both individually and through OSS oriented companies https://www.postgresql.org/support/professional_support/ and willing to help out on Libera https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/migration-of-postgresq...

I think this is the component - away from laptop at the moment: https://github.com/yandex-qatools/postgresql-embedded

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.
