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. sqlite3can 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 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:

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 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:

sqlite> .help

.databases             List names and files of attached databases
.dump ?TABLE? ...      Dump the database in an SQL text format
.echo ON|OFF           Turn command echo on or off

.explain ON|OFF        Turn output mode suitable for EXPLAIN on or off.
.header(s) ON|OFF      Turn display of headers on or off
.help                  Show this message

                         html     HTML <table> code
                         insert   SQL insert statements for TABLE
                         line     One value per line
                         list     Values delimited by .separator string

Options

sqlite3 has the following options:

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