Well ... I am glad that you are right. When I saw your message, I wondered why it didn't work for me. I have taken back my samples: $ cat test.csv A,B,C T,TI,TIT "A,B",C,D "1st line 2nd line",E,F sqlite> .mode csv sqlite> .import test.csv T sqlite> select * from T; T,TI,TIT "A,B",C,D "1st line 2nd line",E,F I think this is where my mistake comes from, and when I did browse on internet, I saw some replies showing how to do an update to remove the quotes... now I should have done: sqlite> .mode csv sqlite> .import test.csv T sqlite> .mode list sqlite> select * from T; T,TI,TIT A,B,C,D 1st line 2nd line,E,F 0003,002,01 so I was obviously wrong, sqlite import the csv very well, and I am glad to have been wrong! apologies for my mistake. Best regards, Sylvain
