I am working on Mac OS X,
I want to create a new SQLite DB, and
I am using http://www.sqlite.org/quickstart.html as a reference.
I am entering: sqlite3 test.db
and getting the response:
SQLite version 3.6.12
Enter ".help" for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"
Why is this happening?
Because that is the administrative shell prompt. The shell created test.db and is now waiting for you to do something with it thus the
sqlite>prompt you see.You may want to
create table ...at this point.
