You're not the only one.  https://github.com/jklowden/sqlrpt

I wrote it last year to make my use of SQLite more convenient.  I
normally use it instead of the SQLite command-line utility to view
data.  Not only does it make wide columns of text easier to read, it
represents large numbers accurately.  (The SQLite utility will drop
digits that don't fit in the column-width).
