SQLEditor supports adding report templates and export dialects by use of plugins.

For SQLEditor 3.0 and later, plugins can now be written in Javascript.

Plugin Types

Plugins are currently either export type or report type.

• Export plugins offer new document dialects for the source sidebar and the Export To File panel. You add a section to the exportTypes dictionary in the Info.plist file.

• Report plugins appear in the Save Report panel. You add a section to the reportTypes dictionary in the Info.plist file.

Example Code

For a starting point, there is a javascript based SQLite plugin.

SQLEditor supports editing plugins while the app is running.
However this may be slightly unstable, so please save regularly!
