Inspect SQLite data without changing it.

SQLite Viewer combines a native schema tree, SQL workspace, virtual results, and CSV export with the WinSQLite runtime already included in Windows.

What it demonstrates

Read-only is enforced by SQLite, not string matching.

The database is opened read-only and exactly one prepared statement is accepted. SQLite statement metadata rejects writes, while a 5,000-row bound keeps result memory and UI work predictable. NULL and BLOB values remain explicit.

Selecting a schema object generates a safely quoted query. CSV export includes only the visible bounded result, uses UTF-8 with BOM, and quotes every field for predictable spreadsheet import.
