Exoviz is a 2.7 python program, which creates an empty SQLite database and fills it with data from the Open Exoplanet Catalogue. https://github.com/OpenExoplanetCatalogue/open_exoplanet_catalogue. It preserves relations between the bodies in systems by separating system, star , binary, planet data in 4 tables related with foreign keys. The Exoviz is also a Flask application - web front-end interface, to provide a visualisation for each planet system . File "models.py" contains all the tags for each model and you can freely remove some of them or add yours to then build your own database, with data you need for the specific calculations, a game or a personal web page.
