SQLite is the C library that does all the db magic. You have to somehow get to that library, which you can do from a program written in a variety of different languages, even GUI programs, or, from another confusingly similar named program called sqlite or sqlite shell. Since the jump from version 2 to version 3 of SQLite, the C library, made the data incompatible between the two versions, the version 3 of the shell is called sqlite3 usually... it uses the SQLite library version 3.x
Here is what I did (my comments in-line)
sqlite3 foo.sqlite
# called sqlite3 with a db named foo.sqlite # since foo.sqlite didn't exist at first, sqlite3 helpfully created it
CREATE TABLE bar (a, b); INSERT...
# CREATEd a table and inserted a row into it.
.quit
# got out in a hurry (that was a .dot command, specific to sqlite3, the shell) # time passed
sqlite3 foo.sqlite
# this time foo.sqlite existed, so sqlite3 just opened it up
SELECT * FROM bar;
# the table bar was there, and had my data in it. On 11/27/06, sebcity <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
