Use simple single quotes around the filename, and don't quote the alias
name at all:

ATTACH DATABASE 'c:\mydata\my_attach_database.db' AS attached_db;

This means that the file doesn't actually exist, or it does but its contents 
don't look like a valid SQLite database.

[sqlite] ATTACH DATABASE question

2012-09-27 Thread john_provine
I’m confused about how to attach a database file to an existing database. I 
open my main database ok, then to attach the second database, I try to execute 
the following SQL:

ATTACH DATABASE ‘c:\mydata\my_attach_database.db’ AS ‘attached_db’

Calling “SQLite3_Prepare_v2” on this statement returns SQLITE_OK, but calling 
“SQLite3_Step” returns SQLITE_NOTADB, and so of course I can’t query the 
attached database at all. I think I’m missing a concept here. Thanks for any 
help with this.
