Answer 1

1. Open SQLite file using SQLite Database Browser
2. Export to SQL
3. Import (using plugin) into Workbench

Details:

If you have the sqlite file available, open it using the free SQLite Database Browser. This gives you a few ways in which to inspect the database:

• view table structure
• view table content
• issue queries against content
• and more...

Beyond this, you can opt for the SQL file export. Go to "File > Export > Database to SQL file" option inside the SQLite Database Browser.

Once you create the SQL output file, use the SQLite export plugin for MySQL Workbench - especially if you're already familiar with MySQL's Workbench tool.
