Perhaps you should start by telling *all* your sqlite issues. That
would make for more efficient help being provided. See more below --

Think of how sqlite3 works. The way you are working with it, you are
running a command, ostensibly from the command line, and then that
command is done, fini. Now, think of the above command. The ATTACH sql
command is run and then sqlite3 quits. Its work is done. Anything you
do further, like the commands below, are not longer going to be
affected by the ATTACH command above.

Assuming you are working from the sqlite3 shell (again, since you
haven't given any information how you are working with your db, I am
not even sure you are aware of the sqlite3 shell), from your
computer's shell command line
$ sqlite3 db1
SQLite version 3.6.19
Enter ".help" for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"
sqlite> CREATE TABLE t1 (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, a TEXT);
sqlite> INSERT INTO t1 (a) VALUES ('blah');
sqlite> SELECT * FROM t1;
id a
---------- ----------
1 blah
sqlite> .q
$ ls
db1
$ sqlite3 db2
SQLite version 3.6.19
Enter ".help" for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"
sqlite> CREATE TABLE t2 (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, b TEXT);
sqlite> INSERT INTO t2 (b) VALUES ('meh');
sqlite> SELECT * FROM t2;
id b
---------- ----------
1 meh
sqlite> .q
$ ls
db1 db2
$sqlite3 db1
SQLite version 3.6.19
Enter ".help" for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"
sqlite> ATTACH DATABASE db2 AS db2;
sqlite> SELECT t1.a, t2.b FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.id;
a b
---------- ----------
blah meh

Hope that helps.
