Base 1.0 Released!
I’m pleased to announce that the first public application from Menial has been released. Base is an SQLite 3 database reader/editor for Mac OS X and more details can be found at it’s product page.
17th November, 2008:
Unfortunately there was a problem that slipped through testing before release. When a license file was opened, the app would not register that license. To fix this, just re-download the app from this page and double-click your license file again.

Base looks pretty good so far. I’ve reviewed it and compared it at:
http://www.tandb.com.au/sqlite/compare/?base
Main problems:
1. Doesn’t work well with identifiers (eg entity and column names) that should be quoted (eg if they have spaces in the name). All the underlying SQL that Base runs should quote all identifiers in double quotes to prevent bugs.
2. Base prevents editing of data in views, even though SQLite supports it, for views that have “instead of” triggers.
3. Base doesn’t open SQLite database files on AppleShare volumes.
