Selecting data fron SQLite database:
Saving query results to excel file:
Saving query results to PDF file:
Inserting new rows into database table:
- Easy setup.
- Light-weighted, less than 500 KBs.
- Serverless.
- Fully transactional and concurrency-compliant.
- and many more...
Installing and setting up SQLite takes a few minutes, possible from the command line tools, but is preferred via GUI-based utilities like DB Browser for SQLite.
