If I open the Probe.db to edit in Midnight Comander, then I find there one line only, which begin like: SQLite format 3^@^P^@^A^A^@@ ^@^@^@^B^@^@^@^C^@^@^@^ ... etc... So it is definitely a database file and not a text file. For newbies like me it should be mentioned this at https://www.sqlite.org/quickstart.html bellow the 'Create A New Database' title, and below the line: Enter SQL commands at the prompt to create and populate the new database. like: When one finished entering SQL commands and used the ".quit" command to exit the shell tool, then there will be not a text, but a database file which can then be used on various devices, like smart phones, etc. No? -- Best, Pali ___ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users

This mailing list ignores attachments. To see if it’s a database just try to open or type the file. If it’s all text, it’s not a database. If it has weird characters in it it’s probably a database.

But I did the redirection and get a Probe.db file, which is - I hope - the database and not a text file with commands. I attach in this mail the Probe.db file to ask you to see it, whether is it really the database, or just a text file? -- Best, Pali ___ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users

You start the sqlite3.exe program using the command sqlite3 Probe.db Once you have the "sqlite>" prompt, type those commands one by one. Or you can instead use the ".read Probe.txt" command to process all commands in the file. When you are finished use the ".quit" command to exit the shell tool. Then look on your disk for the "Probe.db" file and it will the database file.

You are talking about a file "Probe.db" on your disk. But you describe two different contents for this file as if they are the same thing. Is "Probe.db" a list of SQLite commands, stored as a text file, or a SQLite database ? If it’s a SQLite database, can you given an example INSERT line which was used to put data into this database ? > How can I convert this Probe.db file into format that an Android app can uses? The SQlite database format is identical on all platforms. You do not need to do any conversion just because you move the database from a computer to a phone. However, your description above makes me think you have just a list of commands, not the database that these commands would make.

[sqlite] Converting an sqlite database into format that an Android app can uses?
Hi, I am using sqlite3 on a command line, in an xterm window on Gentoo linux system. When I am at sqlite> prompt, I enter SQL commands to create tables for the database Probe.db which is a file on my disk. In the Probe.db file are those SQL commands which I just entered and naturally these line at the beginning of the file: PRAGMA foreign_keys=OFF; BEGIN TRANSACTION; and at the end of file: COMMIT; Say I want to use this database in my Android application on my phone.
