Update for sqlite3


Android has given a very good tool, which is sqlite3. You can find this tool into sdk/tool/ directory.

Introduction :-

From an adb remote shell, you can use the sqlite3 command-line program to manage SQLite databases created by Android applications. The sqlite3 tool includes many useful commands, such as .dump to print out the contents of a table and .schema to print the SQL CREATE statement for an existing table. The tool also gives you the ability to execute SQLite commands on the fly.

To use sqlite3, enter a remote shell on the emulator instance, as described above, then invoke the tool using the sqlite3 command. Optionally, when invoking sqlite3 you can specify the full path to the database you want to explore. Emulator/device instances store SQLite3 databases in the folder /data/data/<package_name>/databases/.

Here's an example:

adb -s emulator-5554 shell
# sqlite3 /data/data/com.example.google.rss.rssexample/databases/rssitems.db
SQLite version 3.3.12
Enter ".help" for instructions
.... enter commands, then quit...
sqlite> .exit 

Once you've invoked sqlite3, you can issue sqlite3 commands in the shell. To exit and return to the adb remote shell, use exit or CTRL+D.

Happy coding!

Command Line Shell For SQLite
May 29, 2026 - Be careful when using the ".save" command as it will overwrite any preexisting database files having the same name without prompting for confirmation. As with the ".open" command, you might want to use a full pathname with forward-slash directory separators to avoid ambiguity. It is possible to compile the CLI using Emscripten so that it runs inside a web-browser.

Kinda old but u do have SQLite Browser on Linux. I dont get it why didnt someone paste this. for example, Ubuntu based:

For Ubuntu and derivaties, @deepsidhu1313 provides a PPA with our latest release here:

https://launchpad.net/~linuxgndu/+archive/ubuntu/sqlitebrowser

To add this ppa just type in these commands in terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:linuxgndu/sqlitebrowser

Then update the cache using:

sudo apt-get update

Install the package using:

sudo apt-get install sqlitebrowser

Ubuntu 14.04.X, 15.04.X, 15.10.X and 16.04.X are supported for now (until Launchpad decides to discontinue build for any series).

You can find rest on the home page http://sqlitebrowser.org/ Scroll down or CTRL F for linux installing :)

How Should I Write SQLite Scripts? - Launch SQLite.exe and Execute Commands
That's right. The command-line processor (in this case, bash) is responsible for reading and executing each line of the file, in sequence. So each line must be a command recognized by bash. The first line invokes sqlite's command processor, SQLite3.exe, but doesn't give it anything to do, so it fires up its own, interactive command line. When you tell SQLite to quit, bash picks up with the next line in its file, i.e., with your first dot command above. The usual way I do this is with two files: one to launch SQLite, and a second that contains the commands I want SQLite to follow. Yes, SQLite3.exe can accept a separate file of commands. See https://sqlite.org/cli.html for details on how you can use SQLite3.exe. More on reddit.com
