editor for .sqlite files

[g]

greetings,

i would like to edit/look at sqlite database files as used by mozilla
programs, firefox and thunderbird.

i ran a search with yumex looking for an editor for .sqlite files and
found nothing described as an sqlite editor.

am i mis-perceiving how such files are edited, or, is there nothing
available for sl5.x, or are sqlite files edited with a backend?

tia.

Programs usually use the SQLite library to manage sqlite files.  You might want 
to try using the sqlite utility, which provides a SQL command line interface 
to sqlite files.  You could also have a look at the SQLite Manager add-on for 
Firefox.
