Written in Vlang, it offers a fast, lightweight, and cross-platform solution for managing your SQLite databases directly from the command line. With ZeQLplus, you can easily open any SQLite database file, list tables, browse paginated rows, and run custom SQL queries.\n\nKey features include:\n\n*   Open any SQLite database file\n*   Very fast performance\n*   Runs in a Terminal / CMD window\n*   Tiny executable with no dependencies\n*   List all tables in the database to browse\n*   Paginated view of table rows\n*   Run custom SQL queries and view the results\n*   Cross-platform compatibility: macOS, Linux, Windows\n*   Open source under the MIT License\n\n## Installation\n\nGetting started with ZeQLplus is straightforward. You have two primary options for installation:\n\n### Pre-built Binaries\n\nPre-built binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows 10+ are available as zip files on the [releases page](https://github.com/ZetloStudio/ZeQLplus/releases). Simply download the appropriate zip file for your operating system, extract its contents, and run the executable directly. No additional installation steps are required.\n\n### Building from Source\n\nIf you prefer to build ZeQLplus from its source code, you will need [Vlang](https://github.com/vlang/v) v0.4.10 or above installed on your system.\n\n1.  First, ensure you have [installed V](https://github.com/vlang/v#installing-v-from-source).\n2.  Clone the ZeQLplus repository from GitHub.\n3.  Navigate to the cloned directory in your terminal.\n4.  Build the executable in production mode using the following command:\n\n    shell\nv -prod -skip-unused . -o zeql\n    \n\n## Examples\n\nOnce installed, using ZeQLplus is simple. From your command line in a Terminal or CMD window, execute the `zeql` command followed by the path to your SQLite database file:\n\nshell\nzeql <database_filename>\n\n\nIt is recommended to move the `zeql` executable to a location included in your system's PATH for easier access.\n\n### Sample SQLite Database\n\nTo test ZeQLplus's functionality, you can download a sample SQLite database, such as the [Chinook SQLite database](https://github.com/lerocha/chinook-database/blob/master/ChinookDatabase/DataSources/Chinook_Sqlite.sqlite).\n\n## Why Use ZeQLplus?\n\nZeQLplus stands out as an excellent choice for anyone needing to interact with SQLite databases from the terminal due to several compelling reasons:\n\n*   **Speed and Efficiency**: Built with Vlang, ZeQLplus is exceptionally fast and has a tiny footprint, making it highly efficient.\n*   **No Dependencies**: The executable is self-contained, requiring no external dependencies to run.\n*   **Cross-Platform**: It runs seamlessly across macOS, Linux, and Windows, providing a consistent experience regardless of your operating system.\n*   **Terminal-Native**: For developers and users who prefer command-line interfaces, ZeQLplus integrates perfectly into their workflow.\n*   **Open Source**: Being open source, it benefits from community contributions and transparency, offering a reliable and customizable tool.\n\n## Links\n\n*   **GitHub Repository**: [ZetloStudio/ZeQLplus](https://github.com/ZetloStudio/ZeQLplus)\n*   **Releases Page**: [ZeQLplus Releases](https://github.com/ZetloStudio/ZeQLplus/releases)\n*   **Vlang**: [The V Programming Language](https://github.com/vlang/v)\n*   **Sample Database**: [Chinook SQLite Database](https://github.com/lerocha/chinook-database/blob/master/ChinookDatabase/DataSources/Chinook_Sqlite.sqlite)","metrics":{"detailViews":9,"githubClicks":16},"dates":{"published":null,"modified":"2026-04-10T16:38:16.000Z"}}
