The installed homebrew package database.
| Column | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| app_name | text | Name of the installed App (for Casks) |
| auto_updates | integer | 1 if the cask auto-updates otherwise 0 |
| name | text | Package name |

Example
Check the version of a package installed via homebrew. This example checks the version of ffmeg, which should be replaced by the actual package you want to check for. This is useful for finding problematic or vulnerable installs, though Fleet will detect vulnerable packages automatically.
SELECT version FROM homebrew_packages WHERE name = 'ffmpeg';
