Database Access and Updates

The TS database has a simple structure and if you’re adept at databases and SQL, you can read it or update it yourself.

DB Browser for SQLite is an excellent tool to view and update the database. It also has a command line interface so you can automate changes.

Some examples:

  • Create your own application to view the contents of the database and report on project/target status.
  • Import projects/targets from some external source.
  • Clear or manage progress on target exposure plans.
  • Change the accepted/rejected status of graded images.

You should make a copy of the database before making changes. Also, it’s best to make updates while NINA isn’t running. However, you can update it live and TS will see the changes the next time the planning engine is called.
