Hi,
I have been using SQLite without any programming language so far. I
maintain the data in SQLite and use SqliteStudio (www.sqlitestudio.pl) for
inputting data into it and running queries to look at outputs. However
SqliteStudio does not have a programmable back-end that allows me to take
the outputs of a query and do things with it (such as calculating running
sums and averages, for instance). So, if things become too expensive for
standard SQL, I just do without.
In the past, I have maintained my data in an Access database and
developed a pretty extensive set of forms and reports to input and extract
data. I moved to SQLite because I wanted to move off a proprietary
platform onto a free one. And SQLite is faster and includes more SQL
functionality like CTE's also.
But I miss the nice front-end with forms to take inputs (especially
parent and child forms to input data related to foreign keys) and the
reports to format my outputs the way I wanted them. I could also do
running sums and averages, percentile scores and other things that require
looking at a data dump of an entire columns of contents to do efficiently.
I am familiar with programming in C and Java, but none of my
programming has been for the windows platform (except for the programming
inside MS Access, which was done in VBA). I have never developed GUI front
ends with forms, buttons, etc.
Is there a third party free tool like MS Access that would allow me to
connect to a SQLite db in the back-end and enable me to create a custom
front-end to it with forms and reports? All my searches for this kind of
tool only lead me to tools like SqliteStudio, which is a GUI front end for
SQLite, but not a programmable one like I want. If anyone can point me
towards a programmable GUI front-end development tool (preferrably
open-source, but just free and well-maintained is sufficient), I would
appreciate it greatly.
Thank you very much.
