SQLite Browser is the 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 process.

SQLite Browser helps to perform all the database operations via the front-end. SQLite Browser nullifies the purpose of using the SQL queries to manipulate the database. However, the queries are executed at the backend, but the user does not need to write/remember them.
