Concern

VS Code requires two extensions the Viewer and the SQLite extension. Not one.

The SQLite extension (by alexcvzz) which you posted is found here (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=alexcvzz.vscode-sqlite) or install it through MarketPlace in VS Code.

The Viewer by (Florian Klampfer) is found here (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=qwtel.sqlite-viewer) or install it through MarketPlace in VS Code.

Without both extensions, you cannot open it in VS CODE.

Additional Context

No response

Suggested Changes

Mention that you also need to install the VIEWER extension too. Without both extensions, you cannot open that database file in VS Code.

If you accidentally try opening the database file in the DB Browser for Windows when the database file resides on LINUX/UBUNTU, you will get an error saying that "the file is locked (by WSL) or corrupted".

It was mentioned that there was a known issue that you cannot do it. The error message was not posted.
