This is a version of the Microsoft Access 2000 Northwind sample database, re-engineered for SQLite3.

Try now for free. Write queries, visualize data, and share your results. Share queries by URL, and organize them in folders. Works for PostgreSQL, MySQL, BigQuery.
SQLite is a C-language library that implements a small, fast, self-contained, high-reliability, full-featured, SQL database engine. SQLite is the most used database engine in the world. SQLite is built into all mobile phones and most computers and comes bundled inside.

A great software we can use to interact with a SQLite database is TablePlus. It comes with a free trial that’s perfect for our usage, because it’s not time-based but rather it limits the amount of concurrent connections you can make to the database.
Download it from https://tableplus.com. I know there are macOS, Windows and Linux versions.
You create a new connection, choosing SQLite:

You select a name, and type a database path. I choose
test.db
, in the /Users/flaviocopes/
folder:SQLite is pretty cool because the database is contained in a file, which you can put pretty much everywhere you want. This is radically different from PostgreSQL, and MySQL and other big DBMS.
Pressing
Connect
, the connection was successfully created:and I can see the file created in that folder, with zero KB of size:
That’s it.
I’m going to make more tutorials on how to use this SQLite database, soon.
