vscode-sqlite (unmaintained)

Note: The project has been unmaintained since mid 2022 and it will not receive any new updates. The extension should still work in most cases, however the embedded SQLite is out of date and it may not have some of the newer features, in that case you can provide your own SQLite (see sqlite.sqlite3 setting).

VSCode extension to explore and query SQLite databases.

static/sqlite_workflow_1

Requirements

Windows, MacOS: No requirement.

Linux: If the extension is not working out-of-the-box, it may be necessary to install sqlite3 in your system (on Ubuntu: sudo apt install sqlite3)

Note: The extension includes precompiled binaries for the SQLite CLI (used to execute queries), in case the included binaries do not work (or if you want to use your own binaries) you need to provide the path/command to the sqlite3 CLI executable in the setting sqlite.sqlite3.

Features

  • Query SQLite databases and view results in a table (also supports dot commands like .tables, .schema, ecc).

  • Export query results to json, csv and html.

  • Sidebar explorer: list databases, tables, views and columns.

  • Autocompletion for SQLite keywords, table and views names, column names (autocompletion is available for an SQL document once its bound to a database, to bind an sql document to a database use the command SQLite: Use Database)

  • Grammar support for SQLite keywords. This is available for documents with language sqlite. You can mark a document as an sqlite document adding -- sqlite in the first line.

Commands

  • SQLite: New Query   Create a new untitled sqlite file.

  • SQLite: Run Query   Execute query script in the editor.

  • SQLite: Quick Query   Choose a database and execute a query without creating a new document.

  • SQLite: Use Database   Bind current sql document to the selected database.

  • SQLite: Open Database   Open the selected database in the sqlite explorer.

  • SQLite: Close Database   Remove the selected database from the sqlite explorer.

  • SQLite: Refresh Databases   Refresh databases open in the sqlite explorer.

  • SQLite: Show output   Show the extension's output channel.

  • SQLite: Change Workspace Trust   Change the trust of this workspace. By default every workspace is untrusted for security reasons.

Settings

  • "sqlite.sqlite3": string   sqlite3 command or CLI executable path (this setting is disabled for untrusted workspaces)

  • "sqlite.logLevel": string   Set output channel log level (DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR).

  • "sqlite.recordsPerPage": number   Number of records to show per page. (-1 to show all records).

  • "sqlite.databaseExtensions": string[]   The file extensions recognized as SQLite database.

  • "sqlite.setupDatabase": { [path]: { sql: string[] } }   Custom query to run when opening a database.

    In each entry the key is the path of the database and the value is an object with the SQL queries to run (in order).

    For example:

    { "./users.db": { "sql": ["PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON;"] } }

    Means that every time the database users.db is opened, the SQL query PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON; is executed.
