I've used SQLite Database Browser, which will do what you want. 
Nothing fancy, but it works:

http://sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net

A larger list of SQLite tools can be found here:

http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=SqliteTools

Of course if you were to move to MySQL there are many, many more
software tools available.  I don't know how stable the MySQL stuff is,
though... I didn't have much luck with it.

Two things to keep in mind, as I've found out when poking data into the
database.  First, even tiny idiosyncrasies in the data can cause
SlimServer to crash.  Second, if you insert or update data in the
database, even if perfectly valid, there's a very good chance that
SlimServer's scanning will just wipe it out the next time it scans your
library.  Make that a 100% chance if you do a 'wipe cache' before a
rescan.  If you're only planning on doing SELECT queries, though, you
have nothing to worry about.
