Add Database files open support

Support Feature Requests

Describe your feature request
I’d like for a .db files editor, that allows you to edit databases straight from Replit website or mobile app.

What problem(s) would this feature solve?
It would be helpful because of Replit only shows an empty/incomprehensible file. (Also there is no file icon for .db files :sweat_smile:)

Explain what you were trying to do when you came across the problem leading to this feature request
I tried to open a .db file but it doesn’t shows a database data in a human understandable way because of it is just a binary data.

Do you mean to add a SQL database (.db files) viewer to Replit, by the type of SQLiteStudio program?

This would be a very useful feature.

Also, could you describe your function request more precisely by editing the first post? This way it will be easier for others to understand what function you are requesting.

This topic is not a duplicate of this request?

Hi @EmilAhmaBoy !
The file format, I know, is a lot of gibberish with all the red letters and weird symbols.
You may not be able to read them, but the program can, and there are functions that you can use to get the data.

He wants the .db files to be displayed not as a random set of characters, but like this:

It would be a good feature, cos otherwise you’ll have to use a online viewer.
