Hi John,

Can't you transfer the entire database file? If not, you can just do a dump and 
import the resulting file or do a query and save the data to a text file, which 
you import the usual way.

Mark is correct. This is from the "Distinctive Features" page provided by SQLite:

"Single Database File
An SQLite database is a single ordinary disk file that can be located anywhere in the directory hierarchy. If SQLite can read the disk file then it can read anything in the database. If the disk file and its directory are writable, then SQLite can change anything in the database. Database files can easily be copied onto a USB memory stick or emailed for sharing.

Stable Cross-Platform Database File
The SQLite file format is cross-platform. A database file written on one machine can be copied to and used on a different machine with a different architecture. Big-endian or little-endian, 32-bit or 64-bit does not matter. All machines use the same file format. Furthermore, the developers have pledged to keep the file format stable and backwards compatible, so newer versions of SQLite can read and write older database files."

You don't need to do anything other than copy the database file.
