Going back to your original question Qiangian... unfortunately, it
seems the CSV .import mechanism can't handly line breaks in records
(someone please correct me if I am wrong).
I created a table like so and added a record to it
sqlite> CREATE TABLE foo (a, b, c);
sqlite> INSERT INTO foo VALUES (1, '001', 'line1
...> line2
...> line3');
sqlite> SELECT * FROM foo;
1|001|line1
line2
line3
sqlite> .m csv
sqlite> .sep "|"
sqlite> .o foo.txt
sqlite> SELECT * FROM foo;
sqlite>
meanwhile, back in the shell
% less foo.txt
1|001|"line1
line2
line3"
%
back in sqlite3
sqlite> .import foo.txt foo
foo.txt line 2: expected 3 columns of data but found 1
sqlite>
