About:
dbhash is a command-line utility included with SQLite that computes the SHA1 hash of both the schema and the content of a SQLite database file. This creates a unique fingerprint that accurately reflects the database's structure and data state. It is particularly useful for verifying database integrity, detecting changes, and comparing different versions of a database.
Key Features:
  • Computes SHA1 hash of database schema and content
  • Provides a single fingerprint for the entire database state
  • Simple command-line interface for easy scripting and automation
  • Helps in detecting accidental or unauthorized changes to a database
Use Cases:
  • Verifying database integrity after migrations or backups
  • Comparing two databases to ensure they contain identical data and schema
  • Generating a unique version identifier for a database snapshot
Alternatives:
  • sha1sum – Hashes the raw database file bytes, which can change even if logical content is identical due to internal SQLite formatting.
  • checksum – A generic utility for file integrity, but not aware of SQLite's internal structure.
