Personally, I still use it to examine SQLite data though it&#8217;s outdated.  It&#8217;s stable and runs under Yosemite with no problem.  It&#8217;s a pity that it doesn&#8217;t let you alter records.  Hmm&#8230;  Maybe, I can upgrade ViewSQL Pro.  So I&#8217;ve spent the last 10 days or so working on a major upgrade.  I&#8217;ve also changed the name.  What I submitted to Mac App Store several hours ago is called <strong>FireSQL 3<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<table width=\"464\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td width=\"220\" valign=\"top\"><a href=\"mac\/mac_shareware\/firesql3\/Screenshot_001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"mac\/mac_shareware\/firesql3\/thumbnail_Screenshot_001.jpg\" width=\"220\" height=\"138\" alt=\"Mac software FireSQL 3\"\/><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">Source: Tom Bluewater<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td width=\"220\" valign=\"top\"><a href=\"mac\/mac_shareware\/firesql3\/Screenshot_002.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"mac\/mac_shareware\/firesql3\/thumbnail_Screenshot_002.jpg\" width=\"220\" height=\"138\" alt=\"Mac software FireSQL 3\"\/><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">Source: Tom Bluewater<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\nFireSQL 3 is a successor to ViewSQL Pro and lets you view and edit SQLite database.
