SQLITE3(1)                                                                                        SQLITE3(1)



NAME
       sqlite3 - A command line interface for SQLite version 3


SYNOPSIS
       sqlite3 [options] [databasefile] [SQL]


SUMMARY
       sqlite3  is  a terminal-based front-end to the SQLite library that can evaluate queries interactively
       and display the results in multiple formats.  sqlite3 can also be used within shell scripts and other
       applications to provide batch processing features.


DESCRIPTION
       To start a sqlite3 interactive session, invoke the sqlite3 command and optionally provide the name of
       a database file.  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:

       $ sqlite3 mydata.db
       SQLite version 3.1.3
       Enter ".help" for instructions
       sqlite> create table memos(text, priority INTEGER);
       sqlite> insert into memos values('deliver project description', 10);
       sqlite> insert into memos values('lunch with Christine', 100);
       sqlite> select * from memos;
       deliver project description|10
       lunch with Christine|100
       sqlite>


       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 interac-tive interactive
       tive 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:

       $ sqlite3 -line mydata.db 'select * from memos where priority > 20;'
           text = lunch with Christine
       priority = 100



   SQLITE META-COMMANDS
       The interactive interpreter offers a set of meta-commands that can be used to control the output for-mat, format,
       mat,  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:

       sqlite> .help
       .databases             List names and files of attached databases
       .dump ?TABLE? ...      Dump the database in an SQL text format

OPTIONS
       sqlite3 has the following options:

       -init file
              Read and execute commands from file , which can contain a mix of SQL statements and  meta-com-mands. meta-commands.
              mands.

       -echo  Print commands before execution.

       -[no]header
              Turn headers on or off.

       -column
              Query  results will be displayed in a table like form, using whitespace characters to separate
              the columns and align the output.

       -html  Query results will be output as simple HTML tables.

       -line  Query results will be displayed with one value per line,  rows  separated  by  a  blank  line.
              Designed to be easily parsed by scripts or other programs

       -list  Query  results  will  be  displayed  with the separator (|, by default) character between each
              field value.  The default.

       -separator separator
              Set output field separator.  Default is '|'.

       -nullvalue string
              Set string used to represent NULL values.  Default is '' (empty string).

       -version
              Show SQLite version.

       -help  Show help on options and exit.



INIT FILE
       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 ini-tialization initialization
       tialization is as follows:

       o The default configuration is established as follows:


       mode            = LIST
       separator       = "|"
       main prompt     = "sqlite> "
       continue prompt = "   ...> "


       o If the file ~/.sqliterc exists, it is processed first.  can be found in the user's home  directory,
       it is read and processed.  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.
