From sql shell (from a file works the same way):

asql> create temp table test (a text);
asql> insert into test values('a
   ...> b
   ...> c
   ...> d');
rows inserted
-------------
1
asql> select * from test;
a
--------------
a
b
c
d

Betreff: Re: [sqlite] Need some help running sqlite3 command line

Right...  I know the syntax. The problem lies in the 'value' part. Because the 
text has line breaks / carriage returns, I can't figure out how to do it 
appropriately from the command line.

I've tried setting the value in a bash variable, but the breaks get interpreted 
and the syntax fails.
