Hi Donald,

Thanks for the link thats helpful, How do i access the .db file and read
the data...
=================

Venkat,

There may be a bit of a language barrier here.  Each of the GUI sqlite
utilities can be used to access and read the data in an sqlite database.
Each has it's own instructions.  Often, one chooses to "open" the
database file from within the GUI.  One then supplies the desired SQL
instructions and asks that they be "executed" by some means.  There are
even ODBC wrappers available so that you may even be able to use some
tool with which you are already familiar.

All of the data, of course, is also available by using the Command Line
Utility provided as part of the official release.  Have you downloaded
the utility and/or a GUI front-end?  Have you had trouble with the
directions provided by them?

If you're comfortable with the command line utility, for instance, have
you had trouble after reading page,
http://www.sqlite.org/quickstart.html ?

If so, you may need to elaborate on "access" and "read the data" since
I'm not as sure as I was earlier that I understand the difficulty you're
having.
