SQLite Data Sync

Working with the same database in multiple locations will eventually lead to discrepancies between their contents, which is why it is important to synchronize them whenever you get the chance.

Should your database of choice be SQLite, then you can rely on SQLite Data Sync, a lightweight and user-friendly utility to get the job done in a couple of easy steps, even enabling you to save a job and run it whenever you need, without having to reconfigure the entire process.

The application relies on a wizard-style appearance, thus guiding you through the various steps that need to be performed for a successful operation.

As such, experience in working with similar software is an advantage and not a necessity, but a clear understanding of SQLite is rather mandatory, as there are details to be specified that require you to know how to handle them.

To get things going, you need to indicate the source and target databases, having the possibility of using 'HTTP Tunneling', if that is necessary. For both locations, you need to input the usernames and passwords, as well as select the corresponding database from the server, and optionally enter the encryption key.

Should it be necessary, you can open the databases in read-only mode, or you can enable native foreign key supports, just by checking the proper box. Subsequently, you can move on to the next step, and select the tables, having the option of mapping columns and comparing views. You can then define the synchronization options, by choosing a method. When complete, you can start the operation and, depending on the complexity of the task, your results will become available in due time.

Summarizing, SQLite Data Sync is a practical and straightforward software solution that comes to the rescue of people who work on multiple databases and need to corroborate the data through synchronization.
