Large files & performance
Multi-gigabyte databases, WAL snapshots and read-only guarantees.
Built for big files
- Multi-gigabyte databases open instantly: the file is handed to the SQLite worker as a blob reference and pages are read from disk on demand — the whole file is never loaded into memory.
- Virtualized grid — only visible rows are rendered; scrolling renders more on the fly. The page layout stays fixed: only the data grid and the sidebar scroll.
- WAL-mode databases open like any other file: the explorer presents them as read-only snapshots of the last checkpointed state (a single dropped file cannot provide the
-wal/-shmside files). - Read-only everywhere — the database opens in immutable mode; queries cannot modify your file.
