Jacob Lyohne, Director of Development: "Regarding implementation, it is pretty self-explanatory and the SQLite Maestro manual is helpful for review and reference. We also found the on-line documentation useful and the software support staff readily available to answer our questions. Reports are very easy and quick to run and can be broken down into any number of statistical combinations".
Ephraim Stevens : "I just wanted to re-iterate what a wonderful job your developers have done and what a wonderful product SQLite Maestro is. There are so many great things to say about it that I won't go into here. It saves an end user a lot of time on repetitive tasks. Keep up the excellent work over there".

Databases and Database Profiles

SQLite Maestro allows you to manipulate databases by means of database profiles. Profile contains database connection settings and a set of options to automatize common manipulations with databases (a possibility to connect to the database at SQLite Maestro startup, login prompt before connection, etc.). To start working with databases in SQLite Maestro, you should create database profile(s) first.

 

SQLite Maestro supports transparent database encryption. You can use either SQLite Encryption Extension by Hwaci (if you have it) or a free wxSQLite3 library, which is already included into the SQLite Maestro installation package. The libraries are compatible with each other by API calls, but a database encrypted using one library cannot be read by another one.

 

To apply the database file encryption, follow the Manage encryption... link on the database node's popup menu at the Explorer tree as shown below. The action is available only for disconnected databases.

 

 

By default wxSQLite3 library with 128 bit AES encryption will be used. To use the power of SQLite Encryption Extension by Hwaci or another encryption library compatible with it by API calls, disable encryption first, than copy the library to the installation folder as sqlite3.dll and change encryption key in the Manage encryption window and enable encryption back.
