Description

Describe the new feature

Hi, first off, I want to thank the developers of sqlite browser. I absolutely love this database browser - It's a no nonsense db browser that's is so well designed it needs no tutorial.

I've been using Turso databases a lot in my development work (not affiliated with Turso). Turso is simply a serverless SQLite database that you interact with over http.

I hesitate to request adding in a reference to a commercial product in sqlite browser - perhaps a more generic "Open Database over https" might be better, given you just pass in a URL with an access token.

Alternatively, if the sqlite browser team are open to plugins, exposing a C FFI with a few basic functions (query operations returning a vector of results and the ability to add GUI options) would allow me to write an adapter in Rust to add the ability to connect to Turso, as well as another plugin for CloudFlare D1

Does this feature exist in another product or project? Please provide a link

There are few (if any) database browser tools that are able to establish a connection with Turso

Do you have a screenshot? Please add screenshots to help explain your idea.

Research direction

The issue proposes Turso support through an HTTP database connection, or a C FFI and Rust adapter that could also support Cloudflare D1. Start by reviewing the project's existing database connection and GUI extension approach; the issue does not name files or tests. Done would require an agreed scope and a working, tested way to connect to Turso, which is not defined here.
