SQLite Command Prompt

Overview

SQLite Command Prompt ( SQLite CLI ) is the command-line interface tool or shell provided by SQLite to interact with the databases. Using the tool, we can execute SQL statements and dot commands and perform various database operations.

SQLite Command Prompt

Installing SQLite on the computer comes with a command-line utility named sqlite3 (sqlite3.exe on Windows OS). This utility is the SQLite Command Prompt, allowing you to interact with SQLite databases in a terminal or command prompt window.

How to launch?

Let’s see the steps to launch the SQLite CLI tool:

Open the Windows command prompt.

Navigate to the SQLite installation directory if the sqlite3 executable is not in your system’s PATH. Use the cd(change directory command).

On the command prompt, type sqlite3 or sqlite3.exe

We will be connected to a temporary, transient in-memory database, and the sqlite> prompt will be displayed.

We can now enter SQL statements and commands and perform database operations using the tool.
