sqlite-utils is a Python CLI utility and library for creating, querying, and manipulating SQLite databases. It supports piping JSON/CSV/TSV data into tables, running SQL against files, configuring full-text search, schema transformations, migrations, and plugins.
Use cases
- load a csv file into a sqlite database
- run sql queries against files
- add full-text search to a sqlite table
- change a column type in sqlite
- normalize data by extracting columns into lookup tables
- manage sqlite schema migrations from python
- convert to sqlite
When to choose
- you work with SQLite from the command line or Python
- you need to import/export JSON, CSV, or TSV data into SQLite
- you want full-text search or schema changes SQLite doesn't support natively
When to avoid
- you need a full GUI database browser
- you're working with a database other than SQLite
