Looking for some basic help

  • My friend and I are coding an addon in python to replace an older addon written in a different langauge.

    We want to extract the info the old addon's sqldb file. However, I have no clue what to do. I do not know what to open a sqldb file with to view its contents, etc.

    Afterwards, I need to make some type of script that will pull out the info, etc.

    Thanks for any help you can give me,

    Josh

  • I am sure one of you has some type of basic tips for a person.

  • It's not really clear what you're trying to do. If you want to open a SQL script file (with a .sql extension), use SQL Server Management Studio.

  • As John stated, we're not sure what exactly you are trying to do. To simply view the database and it's contents, a suggestion has already been given. If trying to access the data from within your app, what version of SQL are you running? To export the data to a flat file, there are several options open to you. Give us more info and someone can surely help.

  • The file extension is .sqldb

    I believe it is an sql lite database.

    I was trying to find a way to view its contents, so that I can attempt to extract the info once I know what the tables are.

  • .sqldb is not the extension of a SQL server database or script. SQLite is not in any way related to SQL Server

    Perhaps the SQLDB viewer on this page will help you?

    Or the Sqlite home page/
