Squall is a SQLite viewer and editor that runs in your terminal. Squall is written in Python and uses the Textual package. Squall allows you to view and edit SQLite databases using SQL. You can check out the code on GitHub.
Here is what Squall looks like using the Chinook database:
Currently, there is only one command-line option: -f or --filename, which allows you to pass a database path to Squall to load.
Example Usage:
squall -f path/to/database.sqlite
The instructions assume you have uv or pip installed.
uv tool install squall_sql
uv tool install git+https://github.com/driscollis/squall
If you want to upgrade to the latest version of Squall SQL, then you will want to run one of the following commands.
uv tool install git+https://github.com/driscollis/squall -U --force
pip install squall-sql
Running Squall from Source
If you have cloned the package and want to run Squall, one way to do so is to navigate to the cloned repository on your hard drive using your Terminal. Then run the following command while inside the src folder:
python -m squall.squall
