SQL Editor Pro is a focused SQL workspace for iPhone—built so you can author, refine, and ship queries without a laptop. Open scripts from Files, edit with syntax highlighting and line numbers, switch SQL dialects, then call an AI copilot when you want deeper analysis or fixes. Who it’s for Developers, analysts, DBAs, and students who need a fast, readable editor plus intelligent help—not another heavyweight IDE. Editor & files • Import .sql and plain-text scripts via the system document picker • Edit with syntax-highlighted, monospace-friendly editing and line numbers • Choose dialect-aware context: Generic, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, or SQL Server • Save and share SQL using familiar iOS export and share flows AI tools (requires internet) • Deep Analysis — structured review across syntax, logic, performance, and suggested fixes • Fix My SQL — corrected SQL you can apply back into the editor • Performance Optimizer — practical tuning angles for heavier workloads • Explain & Risk Check — plain-language behavior notes and safer-run reminders Power productivity • SQL Formatter — clean up messy scripts for readability • Templates — start faster from curated patterns for common tasks • History Restore — snapshots when you format, apply AI fixes, import templates, or capture manually • Power Tools — duplicate/manual snapshots and export a packaged text bundle of your editor SQL plus history Plans SQL Editor Pro includes free starter usage for premium actions (AI, Save, Share), then Pro unlocks unlimited access via In‑App Purchase (subscriptions and a lifetime option where configured). Editing core functionality remains available on device; AI features need a network connection. Privacy-conscious design • No third‑party advertising or analytics SDKs bundled for tracking • Cloud AI sends only what you submit when you run AI features (your SQL and related prompt context) over encrypted HTTPS to our AI routing provider; see Privacy Policy for details • Local preferences, optional history snapshots, and usage counters may be stored on-device using standard iOS storage mechanisms Important AI output can be wrong—independent review is required before running SQL against real systems.

About

Read full description

beDBlite creates, opens, searches and edits your SQLite databases on Mac, iPad and iPhone. OPEN DATABASES Open any SQLite file via the file picker or create a new, empty database; recently used files are remembered. VIEW AND EDIT TABLES On Mac and iPad as a real table with row selection, resizable column widths and sorting via the column headers, on iPhone as a clear grid. Edit cells directly, create new rows with hints for default values and required fields, delete rows. Jump straight to the linked row via a foreign key. INSPECTOR The selected row with all its fields in a sidebar (on iPhone as a sheet), or just a single cell if you prefer. Even very long texts can be read: large values are loaded only when needed. RECOGNIZE AND UNPACK VALUES Compressed values are recognized and unpacked in the inspector, as text, readable text or hex. Possible timestamps are identified and image formats are recognized. FILTER AND SEARCH Filter any table with a WHERE condition and sort it with ORDER BY, page through the rows, search across all tables. SQL QUERY AND CONSOLE Queries with suggestions for the next building blocks; the result appears like a table and can be saved as a view. Run your own statements in the SQL console. SCHEMA TOOLS Create tables, views, indexes and triggers from an SQL template, copy, empty or delete tables. EXPORT Structure, a single table or the complete database as an SQL file, even for large databases. DIAGNOSTICS Database information, integrity check and optimize (VACUUM). WAL mode support beDBlite opens files in WAL mode whose companion files are not accessible as read-only and tells you so. Schema objects in foreign files may not call unsafe SQL functions. Privacy • No user accounts, no ads, no tracking • Everything runs on your device, there is no server connection
