Where to Go From Here?

Download the completed project by using the Download Materials button at the top or bottom of this tutorial. There, you can see other common tasks that this tutorial didn’t have time to cover, including the implemented updates, deletes and multiple row handling.

Debugging is another important part of using SQLite with Swift. In many cases, you’ll need some kind of database browser to see what’s going on under the hood. There are many different apps that can help with this. A quick internet search will show which ones are best for you.

You can also access your SQLite databases directly from your Terminal by typing sqlite3 file.db. From there, use the .help command to see a list of commands, or simply start executing SQL statements directly at the prompt. Find more information on the command-line SQLite client on the main SQLite site.
