Sqldiff is a command-line utility that compares two SQLite database files and outputs the differences in SQL. It can generate SQL INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statements to transform one database into another. This is highly useful for synchronizing databases or debugging data discrepancies.
Key Features:
  • Compares schema and data between two SQLite databases
  • Outputs standard SQL statements for easy application
  • Can output data differences in CSV format
  • Part of the official SQLite toolset
Use Cases:
  • Synchronizing a development database with a production database
  • Debugging why two databases contain different data
  • Generating incremental update scripts for an application
Alternatives:
  • sqldiff (Python) – A different Python-based tool for diffing SQL files, not specifically optimized for SQLite internals.
