It can read a fixed number of columns separated by fixed delimiters. It works with CSV files for example. All data are inserted as strings, but the strings may be converted to integer or real values if the columns have suitable affinity (see http://www.sqlite.org/datatype3.html for more details).

[sqlite] Importing table
Hi, Folks I have a text file with 18 399 392 lines. Each line contains five fields. Four are a compound key, the other is just data. What is the best way to import this to sqlite? I am thinking on creating another text file with 18 399 392 INSERT commands. Would that be the best method? (by the way, I am expecting to have bigger tables in the near future) Thanks Alberto -- Alberto Simões ___ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
