*CLI tool and Python utility functions for manipulating SQLite databases*

This library and command-line utility helps create SQLite databases from an existing collection of data.

Most of the functionality is available as either a Python API or through the ``sqlite-utils`` command-line tool.

sqlite-utils is not intended to be a full ORM: the focus is utility helpers to make creating the initial database and populating it with data as productive as possible.

It is designed as a useful complement to `Datasette <https://datasette.io/>`_.
