@AndyEd – There seems to be a typo in that ERD. The table is “moz_historyvisits” (no second underscore) – at least on my current install, Firefox 3.0a8pre.

Query to show the user table names in a given database:
SELECT name FROM sqlite_master
WHERE type=’table’

I tried using Storage Explorer to pull data from Places, touching history, bookmarks, and favicons. Worked great.

Everything except moz_history_visits where session IDs & link visits are stored.

For the reference – links for developers. A project page on MDC or somewhere should be started too.

@Martijn

That’s actually what I plan on doing next with it :)

Just tried Storage Explorer on a recent Minefield nightly build (2007090205 Minefield/3.0a8pre).

It would be nice when the tables inside a database would be listed too. Now I should have a look at http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Places:Design to find out what tables are inside.
Then one can also list the columns inside the table.
In the end one could right click on a table to retrieve all rows from it.

But this is only 0.1, so I guess we can expect more features in the future.
Or perhaps that goes beyond the features of this tool.
