Download the SQLite ODBC driver for OS X.Add some tables to it, or don’t-it doesn’t matter. Create a new SQLite database using sqlite3 in Terminal (or even easier, use a GUI program). There are official instructions for doing this on Linux and Windows, but there’s nothing about doing it in OS X. The solutionįortunately there’s a way to use an SQLite database as the backend for LibreOffice Base using an ODBC driver, giving the best of both worlds: an open, universal, Java-free database behind a customizable form-based GUI. LibreOffice Base has excellent support for database-backed forms, but under the hood, LibreOffice uses the Java-based HSQLDB, which does not have native R and Python support and requires older Java runtime environments. I could use Python to program my own GUI (or even get fancy and learn Swift and make a native Cocoa app), but that seems like an excessive amount of work. There are plenty of SQLite viewers, but I haven’t found any that let you create Access-like forms. 1 Technically RSQLite is a separate package, but it’s a dependency of dplyr, which is as important as base R in my book.
