This tutorial aims to provide technical information necessary for direct access to data stored in Zotero's local bibliographic database. The official documentation [mentions][Zotero Client Data Model] the present topic briefly, so I decided to post a more detailed discussion.
Zotero's local bibliographic database is an [SQLite][] database, the leading open-source relational database management system (RDBMS). Hence, direct access to this data necessitates basic familiarity with [relational databases][RDBMS] and [SQL][] (free SQL resources are readily available on the Internet, including the [official documentation][SQLite docs] focused on the SQLite SQL dialect and [this tutorial][SQLite SQL Tutorial]).
