Base 3.3.0 Released

Base 3.3 is now available for download.

Base now provides Quick Look previews for SQLite databases. When you’ve got a database selected in the Finder, pressing the spacebar will show a list of tables, views, triggers and indexes in that file.

Quick Look preview showing database schema

I find this really useful when I’m working with multiple databases or just want to quickly check what’s in a file without opening it properly. The table and view items are expandable so you can see indexes and triggers belonging to each one.

All changes in this version:

New features

  • New Quick Look extension for previewing database schemas
  • Enable the Geopoly and RBU extensions for use

Changes and improvements

  • The page_size database option is now a dropdown instead of text field
  • Updated SQLite to v3.51.2

Fixed

  • The numpad enter key can now be used to execute queries
  • The selected row in the data browser jumps around less when editing data
  • Data browser table headers no longer overlap row numbers when scrolling
  • Table headers no longer get out-of-sync with columns when switching between tables
  • Fixed a crash which occurred when adding a filter in the data browser
  • Fixed a crash which occurred when removing certain columns in the table editor
  • Fixed overlapping text in SQL query results

You can download Base directly, get it on the Mac App Store or via Setapp.
