Run the Application

The main window of the application:

  1. Menu bar. Most of the actions are started here.
  2. Object tree. Database objects are stored in the logical hierarchy here. "Main" is the core database (opened), all others databases can be "attached" only.
  3. SQL editor. Write your queries and the others commands here.
  4. Result table. All queries results and related stuff is shown here.
  5. Error log. Error messages and status is written here.
  6. Start the Application

    The most common way how to start Sqliteman is to run it from your desktop menu. But there are some command line options you can use too.

    Usage in command line: sqliteman [options] [databasefile]

    databasefile
    An optional argument. A Sqlite3 file with absolute or relative path. This file will be loaded into the application directly.
    options
    Optional arguments. You can specify some switches to setup the application. Option list:
    • --help or -h – displays small help and exits
    • --version or -v – prints version and exits
    • --lang or -l – sets a GUI language. E.g. --lang cs for Czech. See note [1].
    • --langs or -la – lists available languages and exists

    There are standard Qt options available too.

    Note [1]: Sqliteman checks your environment and tries to setup iself by your locale settings. It affects the GUI language – it should be in your language if there is a translation available. If you wish to use this application in English use --lang en.
