sqliteHow do I create a GUI for a SQLite database?


Creating a GUI for a SQLite database requires a few steps.

  1. Install the SQLite library, either with a package manager or by downloading the source code:
$ sudo apt-get install sqlite3
  1. Create a Python script to establish a connection to the SQLite database:
import sqlite3

conn = sqlite3.connect('mydatabase.db')
  1. Use the Python GUI library of your choice to create the GUI. For example, the Tkinter library can be used to create a basic GUI window:
import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("My GUI")
root.geometry("400x300")

label = tk.Label(root, text="My GUI")
label.pack()

root.mainloop()
  1. Add widgets to the GUI window to allow users to interact with the database. For example, a button can be used to execute a SQL query:
import tkinter as tk

def query():
    cur = conn.cursor()
    cur.execute("SELECT * FROM mytable")
    print(cur.fetchall())

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("My GUI")
root.geometry("400x300")

query_button = tk.Button(root, text="Query", command=query)
query_button.pack()

root.mainloop()
  1. Once the GUI is complete, the connection to the database should be closed:
conn.close()
