I am really struggling to figure out what this is or how it provides value. Edit: This discussion isn't exactly what I was hoping for. I was looking for ways to better highlight the features or value proposition of this site. Not defenestrate it altogether. E.g.: A simple modal that says "Welcome to SQLite Online! You can with this tool." would have radically altered my initial perception.

I would have loved this 25-years ago during university.

Would have made homework (and just learning) significantly easier.

For me: Try queries without the hassle of setting up a database. Learn SQL. Experiment. Etc.

    sqlite3 some-file.db
That's the whole "database setup" in case of SQLite.

This method is not available on all devices and does not support sharing or collaboration.

The website, however, works on any platform and allows working together in a single shared database.

Current Firefox on Linux. This is the console message: downloadable font: Glyph bbox was incorrect (glyph ids 33 55 62 81 82 83 84 87 88 89 90 112 119 120 123 139 159 162 164 166 178 184 185 217 218 272 273 274 275 279 281 284 290 291 292 309 310 319 321 323 326 329 330 331 332 333 334 339 341 347 349 351 352 353 354 357 358 361 366 367 370 371 414 431 436 444 445 458 460 464 465 483 505 508 511 514 516 517 518 520 5…

You may be using an outdated browser version that doesn’t support some features. Please update your browser to the latest version for the website to work properly.

I also get the glyph message on my Firefox 144.0b8 and it runs fast here, so I guess that shouldn't be the reason...

RTCPeerConnection is available in Firefox and Chrome since 2017... son unless the browser is veeery old... Maybe something blocking RTC?

you can just share the file, huh

collaboration sounds nice though, it definitely has a market considering 11k daily users.

Yes, the issue may be caused by WebRTC being disabled in your browser settings.

If the database is loaded from an external source (as shown in the examples), using the "Share Script" feature automatically attaches a link to the database. The link allows both the database and the script to be accessed and loaded.

I don't understand the people trying to convince others that this tool is useless by saying "just do it this way, duh!". It is useful, even from a rapid glimpse at the website.

Be kind and sensible.

how does collaboration works for SQLite, since the db is embedded?
