Richard, It doesn't matter how it is in MySQL. This is SQLite, and this is how it is... assuming test.db is in the same folder as sqlite, > ./sqlite test.db . your other commands... ; assuming test.db is in a different folder, lets say, a folder called "db", which is not the same as sqlite's folder, you can do... db> sqlite test.db . your other commands... ; see what happened above... You didn't type ./sqlite test.db in this second scenario because sqlite is in a different folder while you are in the db folder. The reason it worked is because the folder where sqlite is installed is in the PATH variable. It would be if you installed SQlite correctly. If it isn't, then you need to find out a good place to put sqlite and its libraries somewhere in your path. You have to specify the database on the same line as the sqlite command > sqlite nameofdatabase or > ./sqlite nameofdatabase It can't be any simpler. Just grab a basic Unix book and you will get much further faster than our fragmented help on this list. Then, do ask SQLite-specific questions here and you will get quick, relevant help.

Re: [sqlite] Create a New Database?
Confused, I thought that .databases command would list all database, under sqlite? the you can choose which one you wanted to make active. ??? Once I start sqlite correctly, via the ./sqlite command Now all commands should be active, hence where the database "test.db" I can see it inside the folder, but sqlite can not see it, or is there another step I'm missing.

I am assuming you mean you clicked on sqlite (the unix binary... there is no concept of exe file in unix... a binary could be an "exe" file). So, which one of the above did you do? The act of clicking on sqlite would be equivalent to typing > sqlite without any database specified. That won't work. Do as Yves suggests below. It will work. You have to specify the database when launching sqlite. Once you specify the database (it will be created if it doesn't already exist), then you can create your tables and whatnot.
