Modify collection with sqlite?

Development
#1

I remember this guy did an external tool in Java that you could use to edit your collection of cards in Anki.

If I recall correctly, he used sqlite to load up the collection of Anki and edit it.

Does anyone here know how I can do it with sqlite? To read and edit the collection?

I suggest using this open source app https://sqlitebrowser.org/

I would not recommend editing the database directly as any unintended changes could cause the database to suddenly not working with the Anki version (saw similar stuff happening as a developer with ‘advanced’ end users with a pro photo app). Or at least make a lot of backups.
