I find I was often trying to exit the shell while at the continuePrompt. This usually happens because I accidentally entered 'exit' without the period first, but sometimes for other reasons (I started to enter a SQL command and realized I didn't need to, or whatever). I have added a small fix to my own shell to check for '.exit' at the beginning of every line, even if nSql>0 (line 2517). I would suggest this as a permanent addition, as it is slightly inconvenient to (about 70% of the time) end up doing:
sqlite> exit (think: oops! I meant...) ...> .exit (think: argh! All right! Now I remember that I need only 2 more lines to get out of here!) ...> ; Error: near "exit": syntax error sqlite> .exit -- Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning. - Rich Cook _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list [email protected] http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
