SQLite Browser is a graphical tool to manage SQLite databases. SQLite is a lightweight database
management system with cross-platform support. Unlike the traditional database management
system, SQLite does not follow any client-server model and does not have any running processes.
SQLite Browser helps to perform all the database operations via the front-end. SQLite Browser
nullifies the purpose of using SQL queries to manipulate the database. However, the queries are
executed at the backend, but the user does not need to write/remember them.
