Hello,

Does anyone know if there is a DETS editor to edit DETS data files? I am looking for something similar to DB Browser for SQLite.

Thanks

Hi,

It’s been a week since I’ve posted this and am still interested in getting a response. As of now the only thing I could come up with is building an administration panel that allows you to view and edit the records. The problem with that is it would be custom to the application and I was hoping for a universal solution.

The Table Viewer Tab in Observer allows you to view and edit (if the table access is public) ETS tables. It does not allow insertion.

The obvious difference to an SQLite Browsers is that ETS (and DETS) tables do not have meta-information (besides keypos and type) and one is left to editing tuples. Where a SQLite table has a fixed number of columns and these columns have types.

So while it is very easy to make a DETS editor (just take the code from observer_tv* and use dets:to_ets/2 and dets_from:ets/2), its usefulness is IMHO very limited.
