In order to narrow down the information that an analyst needs to process, SQLite queries can be used to pull only necessary or valuable data from database tables.

The following slides will illustrate how to use a free tool like SQLite Database Browser to query a database for items of interest and return intelligible results.

Several for-purchase tools also provide the ability to query SQLite databases using point-and-click or drag-and-drop techniques instead of writing out an actual query. Cellebrite has incorporated an SQLite Wizard and Sanderson Forensics has a compilation of tools called Sanderson Forensic Toolkit for SQLite.
