Bundled tool for reading SQL lite dabtases ?
807557Nov 23 2004 — edited Dec 10 2004In Solaris 10 the default format for storing the package database has changed from a text file (/var/sadm/install/contents) to a SQL lite database.
My question is: are there any plans to include some tools in the standard Solaris install that would allow queries on this database ?
Practically I want to be able to do an equivalent of grep / awk on the old db.
I know one can install SQL lite but I think the ability to perform custom queries on the database is sometimes useful and should be provided in the default install.
To give a trivial example: assume I have an executable and I don't remember the full path name.In the old version I could grep for the name in contents and get the full path.
Of course one could convert the db to a text file, but this doesn't seem like the right solution.
