Can I use sqlite to read database of Counterparty directly?

Support FAQ

Yes, with sqlite3 CLI.

Note that this bypasses some protocol checks, for example it does not ensure that the DB is up-to-date.

Examples

Select top 10 holders of all Counterparty-issued assets:

SELECT COUNT(*) AS address, asset FROM balances GROUP BY asset HAVING count(*) > 100

Select number of transactions of particular asset (XXXX) in the past week:

SELECT * FROM order_matches INNER JOIN blocks ON order_matches.block_index = blocks.block_index WHERE asset='XXXX' AND block_time > 'timestamp_7_days_ago'
