How to install SQLite database on windows 11 || Creating a database and table in SQLite 2023 updated

by

SQLite is a self-contained, serverless, and zero-configuration database engine that doesn’t require a separate installation process like some other database systems. To use SQLite on Windows 11, you can download a precompiled binary or use it in various programming languages like Python, Java, or C#. Here’s how to get started:

Download SQLite Tools:
SQLite provides a command-line interface (CLI) and a graphical user interface (GUI) tool called “DB Browser for SQLite” that you can use to interact with SQLite databases.

SQLite CLI: You can download the command-line tools from the official SQLite website’s download section: SQLite Download Page. Look for the “Precompiled Binaries for Windows” section and download the “sqlite-tools-win32-x86-xxxxxx.zip” or “sqlite-tools-win64-aarch64-xxxxxx.zip” file, depending on your system architecture.

DB Browser for SQLite (GUI): If you prefer a graphical tool, download “DB Browser for SQLite” from its official website: DB Browser for SQLite Download. Select the appropriate version for your Windows system.

Install or Extract the Tools:

SQLite CLI: Extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP file to a directory of your choice. You can place these files in a folder and add that folder to your system’s PATH environment variable to run sqlite3 from the command prompt.

DB Browser for SQLite (GUI): Run the installer you downloaded, and follow the installation instructions. Once installed, you can launch the GUI tool from the Start menu.

Verify Installation:
To verify that SQLite is installed, open a command prompt and run the following command to check the SQLite version:
sqlite3 –version

For the DB Browser for SQLite (GUI), you can launch it from the Start menu or desktop shortcut.


Using SQLite:
SQLite CLI: You can create and manage SQLite databases using the sqlite3 command-line tool. For example, you can create a new database by running:

sqlite3 mydatabase.db

Replace mydatabase.db with your desired database name.

DB Browser for SQLite (GUI): Launch the GUI tool, open an existing SQLite database, or create a new one. You can then use the graphical interface to create tables, run SQL queries, and manage your database.

SQLite is a lightweight and versatile database engine, making it a popular choice for embedded systems and mobile applications. You can use it for various projects on Windows 11 by following the steps above.
