I'm doing a bulk insert by calling

with the BulkinsertItems.sql file containing:

.separator \t
.import BulkItems.txt items
.quit

The command window opens and the import works, but then it does not close again.
How can I have this clsoe automatically?

Jan,

All you need to do is move the .quit command from the init file to the command line like this:

sqlite3 -init BulkinsertItems.sql mydatabasefile .quit


with the BulkinsertItems.sql file containing:

.separator \t
.import BulkItems.txt items


Or use a .read command on the command line instead of the -init option like this:

sqlite3 mydatabasefile ".read BulkinsertItems.sql"


with the BulkinsertItems.sql file containing:

.separator \t
.import BulkItems.txt items
.quit
