Base Overview
What is Base? Base is a Mac OS X application that allows users to create, design, edit, and browse SQLite 3 database files. It offers basic features such as schema and table contents viewing/editing, custom SQL queries, and command logging. Additionally, it supports viewing and editing all column and table-level constraints, advanced table designing and altering, quick data find and filter, easy SQL editing with syntax highlighting and autocompletion, and the ability to store commonly used SQL as snippets for easy re-use. Base also offers easy import and comprehensive export options, allowing users to bring in data from CSV or SQL files and export to SQL, delimited text, XML, or Microsoft Excel-compatible formats.
1. No need to manually type CREATE TABLE statements, from a single sheet you can add, edit and remove columns & constraints to your heart's content, maintaining or moving the original data within them.

Can’t reliably edit data in a record
After I open a database, sometimes I can double-click a data record to open an edit window so I can change data, but usually usually I can’t. Double-clicking only selects the text under the mouse as if I’m copy/pasting. It’s very unpredictable. Going through the “Alter” process for the record also does not let me change the data. The SQL database was originally created by the PhatNotes iPhone/iPad app, which is quite old and no longer supported, perhaps this has something to do with this issue? However, other SQL editors I’ve tried on PC don’t have any trouble accessing and modifying record data in this database. I haven’t tried this function with any other SQL databases. The reason I bought this app was specifically to deal with the above-mentioned iPad/iPhone database, which is critical to me and which I was forced to migrate to PC. FYI, I used iFunBox on Windows to retrieve the SQL file from the PhatNotes sandbox on the original iPad, since the data transmission facilities in PhatNotes had stopped working following an iOS upgrade.
Can't import
Purchased this to ease transition from a number of Numbers spreadsheets into SQLite. Every time I try the import function into a New table, it gives and error and aborts. Tried creating a table to match the spreadsheet and import into existing table. Does nothing. Not at all what I was looking for and not worth the price.
Entry Level Database App
System was exhibitig crashes. UI is not as user friendly as it could be. Been working with databases since the 70's and I find this inexpensive app to be less valuable than what it costs.
Base 2.0 is a fantastic SQLite GUI
It is a major improvement over the 1.x version in speed. It nicely handles 1M+ record SQLite files now. It now has more sophisticated features such as column renames and schema changes (these are not natively supported in SQLite, so they have to be explicitly programmed by the developer; it's a real timesaver over manually recreating a db). I find that I turn to it for all the SQLite files I handle now. It's a nice, simple, clean, fast SQLite GUI. And the price is awesome! I'll throw in one suggestion; allow NULL fields not only to be marked with user selectable text, but also a user selectable background color; I find that makes it much easier to browse through to see where the nulls are instead of WHERE 'foo' IS NULL queries...
