If the +database file does not exist, it will be created. If the database file +does exist, it will be opened. + +For example, to create a new database file named "mydata.db", create +a table named "memos" and insert a couple of records into that table: +.sp +$ +.B sqlite3 mydata.db +.br +SQLite version 3.43.0 2023-08-11 17:45:23 +.br +Enter ".help" for usage hints. +.br +sqlite> +.B create table memos(text, priority INTEGER); +.br +sqlite> +.B insert into memos values('deliver project description', 10); +.br +sqlite> +.B insert into memos values('lunch with Christine', 100); +.br +sqlite> +.B select * from memos; +.br +deliver project description|10 +.br +lunch with Christine|100 +.br +sqlite> +.sp + +If no database name is supplied, the ATTACH sql command can be used +to attach to existing or create new database files. ATTACH can also +be used to attach to multiple databases within the same interactive +session. This is useful for migrating data between databases, +possibly changing the schema along the way. + +Optionally, a SQL statement or set of SQL statements can be supplied as +a single argument. Multiple statements should be separated by +semi-colons. + +For example: +.sp +$ +.B sqlite3 -line mydata.db 'select * from memos where priority > 20;' +.br + text = lunch with Christine +.br +priority = 100 +.br +.sp + +.SS SQLITE META-COMMANDS +.PP +The interactive interpreter offers a set of meta-commands that can be +used to control the output format, examine the currently attached +database files, or perform administrative operations upon the +attached databases (such as rebuilding indices). Meta-commands are +always prefixed with a dot (.). + +A list of available meta-commands can be viewed at any time by issuing +the '.help' command. For example: +.sp +sqlite> +.B .help +.nf +.tr %. +... +.sp +.fi + +The available commands differ by version and build options, so they +are not listed here. Please refer to your local copy for all available +options. + + +.SH INIT FILE +.B sqlite3 +reads an initialization file to set the configuration of the +interactive environment. Throughout initialization, any previously +specified setting can be overridden. The sequence of initialization is +as follows: + +o The default configuration is established as follows: + +.sp +.nf +.cc | +mode = LIST +separator = "|" +main prompt = "sqlite> " +continue prompt = " ...> " +|cc . +.sp +.fi + +o If the file +.B ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/sqlite3/sqliterc +or +.B ~/.sqliterc +exists, the first of those to be found is processed during startup. +It should generally only contain meta-commands. + +o If the -init option is present, the specified file is processed. + +o All other command line options are processed. + +.SH SEE ALSO +https://sqlite.org/cli.html +.br +https://sqlite.org/fiddle (a WebAssembly build of the CLI app) +.br +The sqlite3-doc package. +.SH AUTHOR +This manual page was originally written by Andreas Rottmann +<rotty@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used +by others).
