Hello there,

I hope this isn't going to too wide a dist-list. If it is, let me apologise 
now. Sorry ;-)

I needed to write a read-only viewer for SQLite. It's intention is to allow my 
"power users" to see the various tables, triggers and views but not be able to 
do anything with them. I know there are other ways to do this (ie it's not 100% 
secure), but the general principle is to give them the entry point to the 
tables and data that they need. In an attempt to give something back to the 
open-source world, I thought I'd put it on the net for all to review.

You need to have Java 1.6 (although Java 1.5 may work). I've also only tested 
this on Windows (hence the batch file), but you should be able to add a similar 
startup script on Linux/Unix/MacOS etc. 

You can right-click on tables and views and select "View Data" to see tthe 
data. You can also see the sql "dump" of the schema by right-clicking the 
"Database" root tree and selecting "Dump Schema" will need "sqlite3" to be in 
your path for this to work though. Indeed, I have only tested this with SQLite3 
databases, so there might be some strangeness going on with various versions.

I'm by no means an SQLite expert, and would love genuine feedback on the user 
experience and how you think it could be improved. 

Thanks for listening, and I once again apologise if this has just annoyed 
thousands of people. 

Cheers
Richard
