DbSqliteCipher
DbSqliteCipher is a plugin bringing support of SQLCipher to the SQLiteStudio.
SQLCipher is an open source extension to SQLite providing AES encryption of database files.
The plugin adds a new database type to the Database dialog, called "SQLCipher":
When the new type is selected, also additional settings are presented to the user. All encryption parameters available in SQLCipher are available in the Database dialog, with defaults pre-entered. The "Test connection" will indicate whether the parameters are correct for opening given database file.
Apart from the Database dialog, everything else works like it was a regular SQLite 3 database. You are free edit database schema and data, to copy objects between databases (even of different types) by drag&drop or copy&paste, also the transparent database attaching feature in SQL Editor window works with other SQLite 3 or SQLCipher databases.
- While transparent attaching in SQL Editor is known to work, it works only in one direction. It means whenever you would like to execute a cross-database query including a SQLCipher database, you should select that SQLCipher database as a "current execution" database in SQL Editor window (in toolbar), then refer to other databases within the query. Only this way will work. You cannot set a regular SQLite3 database as "current execution" database and refer to SQLCipher database in the query - it won't work. This is the only currently known limitation.
