Kyle,

first, do not use directional quotes in SQLite.  Use the apostrophe character 
around strings

'Dick, Tom'

don't do what is in your message like this

‘Dick, Tom’

Second, if you have lots of data in a tab-delimited format, you can read it 
into a database using the SQLite command-line tool.  Download it from here:

http://www.sqlite.org/download.html

Documentation is here:

http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite.html

You probably want something like

> sqlite3 Database.sqlite
sqlite> CREATE TABLE myTable ( whatever );
sqlite> .separator "\t"
sqlite> .import myFile.csv myTable
