One common way to solve this problem is to use a shell feature called a here document, try this:

 sqlite3 /Users/user/Documents/Test/dbName.dba <"CategoryN total = " string.


Note that this solution allows you to create your sql DML statements pretty much as big/long as you want. For stuff that will happen regularly and it ranging over large  tables, if you have permissions on our system, you may want your DML to a stored procedure and call that.

I hope this helps.

(If this doesn't work, please edit your post to indicate shell you are using, OS/Linux Ver and a minimal version of error messages that you are getting).
