How to open .SQLite files

I'm trying to open a .sqlite file on Windows, but I don't know how to. Do you know a good program for it?

It contains data for statistical analysis, but I prefer having a .txt file.

I also have a .spatialite file. Can you help me?

SQLite is database engine, .sqlite or .db should be a database. If you don't need to program anything, you can use a GUI like sqlitebrowser or anything like that to view the database contents.

• Project:

There is also spatialite,

If you just want to see what's in the database without installing anything extra, you might already have SQLite CLI on your system. To check, open a command prompt and try:

sqlite3 database.sqlite

Replace database.sqlite with your database file. Then, if the database is small enough, you can view the entire contents with:

sqlite> .dump

Or you can list the tables:

sqlite> .tables

Regular SQL works here as well:

sqlite> select * from some_table;

Replace some_table as appropriate.

My favorite:

No installation needed. Just drop the file.

I would suggest using R and the package RSQLite

#install.packages("RSQLite") #perhaps needed
library("RSQLite")
# connect to the sqlite file
sqlite <- dbDriver("SQLite")
exampledb <- dbConnect(sqlite,"database.sqlite")
dbListTables(exampledb)
