Managing SQLite Databases - SQLite Manager

After finding out that SQLite is the database of choice (the only option) for IPhone developers, I began searching for a good program to use for managing my SQLite databases.

After trying a few, I settled with Sqliteman, but was never quite satisfied with it. Eventually, I stumbled upon SQLite Manager, which is a FireFox add-on. Using a FireFox add-on to manage my SQLite databases is a little odd, but this application is well worth the oddness.

There are a lot of links here. Though many have little or no description, it's still a pretty useful resource.
