I've not tried it, but this article from OSXdaily says you can get the command line (Terminal) in iOS. http://osxdaily.com/2018/01/08/get-terminal-app-ios-command-line/ That probably does not solve the fork requirement, and I'm sure it is sandboxed. John G On 15 January 2018 at 15:00, Richard

I would have thought that the logical platform-independent scripting language to use with sqlite would be tcl. By default tcl comes with sqlite built in, so you don’t even need to compile anything. ___ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglist

Interesting. SQLite is written in ANSI C. Objective-C is a strict superset of ANSI C. Objective-C can be used to write software for OS X and iOS. Did the Apple engineers tell you why it is not possible to compile and run the SQLite shell on iOS? On 15 January 2018 at 02:16, Richard Hipp wrote:
