I just like SQLite's simplicity and speed, so wanted to make sure there weren't alternatives. Besides, it seemed a bit overkill to have her install and learn Base while she'll keep Word/Excel for the rest of her work. ___ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users

Hi Gilles, Only Base and Access seem to fit your broad requirements. With SQliteStudio.pl you can feed a sqlite database, but won't have form and reports. What don't you like in base solution that made you ask for other ideas ? ___ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users

SQLite is the SQLite API, which is written for programmers to use. That's what the SQLite web site is about. If someone wants to write an app that uses SQLite they can put up their own web site. Any GUI you see is provided by a third party. There's no point in trying to keep track of more than a hundred database management GUIs, many of which are buggy, many of which interface with other database systems as well as SQLite. The only result that would have is that if there is a bug in one of those apps, someone would think the SQLite team is responsible, and word would get passed around that SQLite is buggy.

Thanks guys. In addition, there's this tool: www.rifin.co.za/software/sqlc/ I see that the wiki contains no document about GUIs: www.sqlite.org/docs.html Can non-admin users contribute to the wiki, so that users don't have to ask in the mailing list?

Re: [sqlite] Windows user app to display input form + reporting?
SQLite Expert has a free version that can be used. Certain UI features are missing, but, it does allow for excel like table editing. Its also MUCH cheaper than anything Microsoft has put out, even with their "dealer discounts" and "oem" sales with proper hardware purchases.
