Tips From MonoSQLite

Here are some hints and tips we have been collecting along the way to make your (and our) lives better.

First, we’d like to list some of the SQLite browsers we already know and let me tell you, it is not so easy to get a SQLite browser that works for what you need. So, here it goes:

• Navicat: We’re using Premium version 10.0 which is excellent. It is expensive though so, we’re on trial version but we’re almost sure it is going to be a buy in a near future. Navicat is simply the best Database Browser ever in our opinion. Premium version allows connections to all databases (that really matter! sorry…): SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite. Give it a try and you’ll simply love it as we do.
• SQLite browser: A humble Open Source effort. Will help you, yes. But at some usability, not-so-time-saver expense. Here’s alink.

 

About Databases

We strongly believe that using dbs is simply a must-do in order to build up game blocks that are orchestrated just the way they should. Therefore, we have developed MonoSQLite for Unity3D. Since SQLite is the golden solution for dbs in Unity3D, we came up with this very approach. Hopefully, our clients are truly satisfied and we’re developing new ways to help them.

MonoSQLite & Playmaker

First achievement after publishing MonoSQLite in the Asset Store was the production of an Extension Pack for Playmaker. This extension pack turns the user experience even easier than MonoSQLite because it allows the user who cannot program to use MonoSQLite as well.

MonoSQLite & NGUI

We are currently (today is May, 15. 2012) developing an Extension Pack to NGUI. This package (NGUI) is really fantastic. It makes the experience of creating GUIs and 3D Menus in Unity3D so much easier we thought we could integrate the experience of saving and retrieving data MonoSQLite extends into the party. So, hopefully, we’ll have tables being displayed in your games statistics directly yielded from your SQLite DB with all the refinement NGUI has to offer!
