A Gramps SQLite exporter and SQLite importer has been developed in master/Sqlite.

SQL stands for "Structured Query Language" and is pronounced "sequel" (it is a joke: as it came after QUEL, it is its sequel). SQLite is a common local database format

Installation

Install both the SQLite Export & Import addon.

Usage

Export SQL

You can export most of the Gramps genealogical data through an SQL Export using the Export Assistant. This does not export other Gramps data, such as bookmarks, researcher information, etc.

  • From the menu select: Family Trees > Export..
  • From the Saving your data wizard dialog select Next

Import SQL

You can also import via SQL import.

From the menu select: Family Trees > Import..

Using export with external programs

After you use the SQL Exporter to export your Gramps data into a file such as Untitled_1.sql, you can then use SQL queries like:

$ sqlite3 Untitled_1.sql
SQLite version 3.5.9
Enter ".help" for instructions

sqlite> .tables
dates       family      names       people      repository
events      media       notes       places      sources   

sqlite> .headers on
.headers on

sqlite> select * from people;
handle|gramps_id|gender|death_ref_index|birth_ref_index|change|marker0|marker1|private
b247d7186567ff472ef|I0000|1|-1|-1|1225135132|-1||0

sqlite> select * from names where surname like "%Smith%";
private|first_name|surname|suffix|title|name_type0|name_type1|prefix|patronymic|group_as|sort_as|display_as|call
0|Test|Smith|||2|||||0|0|

sqlite> .exit
$
