Re: [sqlite] Wanted - a straightforward 'grid' data entry tool for sqlite
I think MyJSQLView should do what you suggest. Most of the commands can be entered via keyboard for add, edit, delete, etc. for data manipulation. Free and open source. http://sourceforge.net/projects/myjsqlview/ To use with SQLite download Xerial JDBC and install in java/lib/ext/ directory. http://www.xerial.org/trac/Xerial/wiki/SQLiteJDBC#WhatisdifferentfromZentussSQLiteJDBC danap. > I'm after an application which will allow me to enter data into a sqlite > database using a 'grid' layout of the data.

Re: [sqlite] Wanted - a straightforward 'grid' data entry tool for sqlite
Have you checked out "Base" from OpenOffice.org? If you want MS Access-like functionality, it might be worth a try. Note that Base uses HSQLDB as it's default backend, but you can replace it with SQLite Please see: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Using_SQLite_With_OpenOffice.org Regards, David Chris Green skrev 2012-01-17 17:05: I'm after an application which will allow me to enter data into a sqlite database using a 'grid' layout of the data.

[sqlite] Wanted - a straightforward 'grid' data entry tool for sqlite
I'm after an application which will allow me to enter data into a sqlite database using a 'grid' layout of the data. I.e. I want the existing contents of the database displayed as a table and I want to be able to click on a field in a row and just edit the data in place. In addition I want to be able to use the TAB key to move from field to field (another key would be OK, just not the mouse). There should be an empty row at the bottom for entering a new row. I'm happy to use a design tool of some sort to do this although a ready made application would be easier/quicker of course. I don't want to code the whole thing from scratch though. What I want is what MS Access calls a tabular form in its design wizard and is also what it presents you with by default if you open a table directly. I need this to run under Linux as a desktop application or alternatively a web application would be fine, I have apache2 with PHP etc. running on my desktop machine here. I've searched around quite a lot for something that can do this for me but haven't found anything yet. There are lots of database management programs (such as sqlitebrowser and sqliteman) but while they do a good job of managing a database they're really not built for entering data.
