Working from a .sqlite file

SQLite is a complete relational database in a single file, which makes it both the easiest source to read and the one people most often need to get out of: the tables, names and constraints are already there to be carried over.

  • The database is opened read-only through a file: URI, so the file you uploaded is never written to, not even to tidy up after itself.
  • SQLite's own bookkeeping tables - anything named sqlite_%, such as sqlite_sequence - are left out. Every other table is converted, in alphabetical order.
  • Declared types are matched the way SQLite matches them, by substring, so VARCHAR(20), NVARCHAR and CHARACTER all land as text columns.

Sheet names and cell types

The workbook is generated rather than exported out of Excel, so every choice in it is one the converter made. The two that show up the moment you open the file are what the sheet is called and what type each cell turned out to be.

  • The sheet takes the table's name cut to 31 characters, which is Excel's own limit for a tab, while the workbook file keeps the name in full - so a long table name is complete in the file name and shortened on the tab inside it.
  • Dates and timestamps become genuine date cells, formatted yyyy-mm-dd and yyyy-mm-dd h:mm:ss, rather than strings that merely look like dates. Sorting and date arithmetic work on them with no conversion step first.
  • A text column of digits stays text: a value like 01234 is written into a string cell, and Excel shows it as it was stored instead of dropping the zeros the way it does when the same data is opened from a CSV.

Reading SQLite

  • Declared types, primary keys, NOT NULL constraints and blobs all carry through.
  • SQLite reports INTEGER PRIMARY KEY as nullable because it aliases the rowid; the conversion corrects that.
  • SQLite type affinity is loose, so a NUMERIC column with no declared scale is given room for decimals rather than being rounded to whole numbers.

Writing XLSX

  • One file per table. Booleans stay booleans and numbers stay numbers.
  • Excel has no fixed-point type, so decimals become numbers — use a database target if exactness matters.

A ZIP containing <table>.xlsx. If anything about your data needed a judgement call, a _warnings.txt explains it.

Questions

Is converting SQLite to XLSX free?
Yes. Files up to 10MB convert free with no account. There is a limit of five conversions per day per IP address.
Will my SQLite data keep its types in XLSX?
Yes — that is the point. Whole numbers, decimals, dates and booleans are mapped to real XLSX types rather than everything becoming text. The mapping table above shows exactly what you get.
Do you store my file?
No. The file is written to a temporary directory, converted, and the directory is deleted as soon as your download has been sent.
