Closing a database

Closing a database disconnects from it and removes it from the tree panel. The database file itself is not deleted or changed — you can open it again at any time.

To close a database:

  1. Select the database in the tree panel.
  2. Choose File → Close Database from the main menu.

SQLite Expert closes the connection and unregisters the database, so it no longer appears in the tree panel.

Note

If a transaction is still open on the database, commit or roll it back before closing, so you don't lose any pending changes.
