6 SQLite and SQLCipher Pain Points You Wish Were Solved

As a developer or database administrator, you’ve likely encountered your fair share of frustrations when working with SQLite and SQLCipher. Which of these pain points resonate with you the most?

## The Wishlist

I came across a Reddit post that asked this very question, and I was struck by how relatable the answers were. Here are the top 6 pain points that SQLite and SQLCipher users would love to see solved:

### 1. Smart Data Diff & Patch Generator
Imagine being able to compare two databases, schema and rows, and export a neat SQL sync script. No more tedious manual comparisons or risk of human error.

### 2. Saved Query Runner
How about saving recurring queries and running them on multiple databases, with the option to export results to CSV, Excel, or JSON? Talk about a time-saver.

### 3. Selective Encrypted Export
Unlock SQLCipher and export only certain tables or queries into a new encrypted database. No more worrying about sensitive data exposure.

### 4. Compliance Audit Mode
A one-click security check of PRAGMA settings, encryption parameters, and integrity, with a handy report to boot. Compliance just got a whole lot easier.

### 5. Version Control for Encrypted DBs
Track changes over time, view diffs, and roll back to snapshots. It’s like having version control for your database.

### 6. Scheduled Query & Report
Auto-run queries on schedule and send results to email or Slack. No more manual interventions or missed deadlines.

## The Takeaway

It’s clear that SQLite and SQLCipher users are craving more efficiency, security, and automation in their workflow. By addressing these pain points, we can unlock greater productivity and peace of mind.
