From a Dbeaver issue on github, it's not possible. Serge-rider commented on Nov 18, 2019 You cannot use SSH with SQLite. SQLite is embedded database, there is no such thing as SQLite server.

Download SQLite tools
To download SQLite, you open the download page of the SQlite official website.
- First, go to the https://www.sqlite.org website.
- Second, open the download page https://www.sqlite.org/download.html
SQLite provides various tools for working across platforms e.g., Windows, Linux, and Mac. You need to select an appropriate version to download.
For example, to work with SQLite on Windows, you download the command-line shell program as shown in the screenshot below.
The downloaded file is in the ZIP format and its size is quite small.
Run SQLite tools
Installing SQLite is simple and straightforward.
- First, create a new folder e.g.,
C:sqlite
. - Second, extract the content of the file that you downloaded in the previous section to the
C:sqlite
folder. You should see three programs in the C:sqlite folder as shown below:
First, open the command line window:
and navigate to the C:sqlite folder.
Second, type
sqlite3
and press enter, you should see the following output:Third, you can type the .help command from the
sqlite>
prompt to see all available commands in sqlite3.Fourth, to quit the sqlite>, you use
.quit
command as follows:Install SQLite GUI tool
The sqlite3 shell is excellent…
However, sometimes, you may want to work with the SQLite databases using an intuitive GUI tool.
There are many GUI tools for managing SQLite databases available ranging from freeware to commercial licenses.
SQLiteStudio
The SQLiteStudio tool is a free GUI tool for managing SQLite databases. It is free, portable, intuitive, and cross-platform. SQLite tool also provides some of the most important features to work with SQLite databases such as importing, exporting data in various formats including CSV, XML, and JSON.
You can download the SQLiteStudio installer or its portable version by visiting the download page. Then, you can extract (or install) the download file to a folder e.g., C:sqlitegui and launch it.
The following picture illustrates how to launch the SQLiteStudio:
Other SQLite GUI tools
Besides the SQLite Studio, you can use the following free SQLite GUI tools:
- DBeaver is another free multi-platform database tool. It supports all popular major relational database systems MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, Sybase.. including SQLite.
- DB Browser for SQLite – is an open-source tool to manage database files compatible with SQLite.
In this tutorial, you have learned how to download and install SQLite tools on your computer. Now, you should be ready to work with SQLite. If you have any issues with these above steps, feel free to send us an email to get help.
DBeaver Overview
DBeaver is a free, open source multiplatform database management tool and SQL client for developers and database administrators. DBeaver can be used to access any database or cloud application that has an ODBC or JDBC driver, such as Oracle, SQL Server, MySQl, Salesforce, or MailChimp. Devart DBeaver provides you with the most important features you'd need when working with a database in a GUI tool, such as:
Dbeaver Sqlite Import Csv
- SQL queries execution
- Metadata browsing and editing
- SQL scripts management
- Data export/import
- Data backup
- DDL generation
- ER diagrams rendering
- Test data generation
- BLOB/CLOB support
- Database objects browsing
- Scrollable resultsets
The tool comes in two editions — Community and Enterprise. Enterprise Edition supports NoSQL databases, such as MongoDB or Cassandra, persistent query manager database, SSH tunneling, vector graphics (SVG) and a few other enterprise-level features. Note though that you can access a MongoDB database from DBeaver Community Edition using the respective Devart ODBC driver. For the purposes of this guide, we'll use the Community Edition of DBeaver to retrieve data from SQLite via the Open Database Connectivity driver.
Creating an ODBC Data Source to Use SQLite Data in DBeaver
- Click the Start menu and select Control Panel.
- Select Administrative Tools, then click ODBC Data Sources.
- Click on the System DSN tab if you want to set up a DSN name for all users of the system or select User DSN to configure DSN only for your account.
- Click the Add button and double-click Devart ODBC Driver for SQLite in the list.
- Give a name to your data source and set up the connection parameters.
- Click the Test Connection button to verify that you have properly configured the DSN.
When using ODBC driver for SQLite with DBeaver, SQL_WVARCHAR data types may be displayed incorrectly in DBeaver. To prevent this, you need to set the string data types to Ansi either in the Advanced Settings tab of the driver configuration dialog or directly in the connection string (String Types=Ansi) — all string types will be returned as SQL_CHAR, SQL_VARCHAR and SQL_LONGVARCHAR.
Connecting to SQLite Data from DBeaver via ODBC Driver for SQLite
Follow the steps below to establish a connection to SQLite in DBeaver.
- In the Database menu, select New Database Connection.
- In the Connect to database wizard, select ODBC and click Next.
- Enter the previously configured DSN in the Database/Schema field.
- Click Test Connection. If everything goes well, you'll see the Success message.
Viewing SQLite Database Objects and Querying Data
You can expand out the database structure in DBeaver's Database Navigator to visualize all the tables in SQLite database. To view and edit the data in a table, you need to right-click on the target table name and select View data.The content of the table will be displayed in the main workspace.
If you want to write a custom SQL query that will include only the necessary columns from the table, you can select New SQL Editor in the SQL Editor main menu. Create your query and run it by clicking Execute SQL Statement to view the results in the same window.
