Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Frequently asked questions about VetroLog, mobile database inspection, and privacy.

Q1: Does VetroLog require any third-party SDK or code in my mobile app?

No. VetroLog requires zero dependencies and zero lines of code in your Flutter, Android, or React Native application. It communicates through the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) using the native run-as mechanism.

Q2: Can VetroLog inspect production / release builds of an app?

No. Android’s operating system strictly enforces sandboxing on release builds (android:debuggable="false"). Without root access, no tool can read another application’s private files in production. VetroLog is designed for development, testing, and QA environments.

Q3: What database engines and storage formats are supported?

VetroLog supports:

  • SQLite 3: Standard .db, .sqlite, .sqlite3 files.
  • SQLite WAL & SHM: Write-Ahead Logging (.db-wal and .db-shm) with real-time live sync.
  • Android SharedPreferences: XML files in shared_prefs/ parsed as structured key-value tables.
  • Flutter sqflite & Drift: Both default and custom storage paths (app_flutter/).

Q4: Can I use VetroLog 100% offline without an internet connection?

Yes. All core features—ADB inspection, table browsing, live WAL sync, data editing, visual query plans, and index advisor—run 100% locally on your machine.

  • For Natural Language to SQL, you can use the Offline Rule Engine or Local Ollama (codellama, llama3) for a completely private, offline experience.

Q5: How does VetroLog handle very large tables with 100,000+ rows?

VetroLog is engineered for speed:

  • Tables are paginated by default (50, 100, or 250 rows).
  • The SQL Playground automatically applies a safe LIMIT 100 to prevent memory spikes, with an optional Fetch 10k button.
  • The frontend uses virtualized list rendering to maintain smooth 60 FPS scrolling.

Q6: Does VetroLog support wireless ADB?

Yes. If your phone and computer are on the same Wi-Fi network:

  1. Connect via USB initially and enable wireless ADB:
    Terminal window
    adb tcpip 5555
  2. Unplug the USB cable and connect wirelessly:
    Terminal window
    adb connect <phone-ip-address>:5555
  3. VetroLog will detect the wireless device automatically.

Q7: Are my API keys (Gemini / OpenAI) safe?

Yes. All API keys are stored strictly inside your local browser storage (localStorage). They are never sent to VetroLog servers. When you generate a query, requests are sent directly from your computer to the AI provider’s official endpoint.
