sqlite3 is chopping/cutting/truncating my text columns

Question

I have values being cut off and would like to display the full values.

Sqlite3 -column -header locations.dbs \"
select n.namelist, f.state, t.state
from name         


        

Answer 1

I was indeed looking for solutions for the exact same issue and I found this workaround:

sqliteresult=`sqlite3 -header -list $SQLITE_FILE "SELECT * ..." | tr "\\n" ";"`
sqliteresult="${sqliteresult/;/;-----------------------------;}"
sqliteresult="${sqliteresult//;/\n}"
sqliteresult="${sqliteresult//|/\t|\t}"
echo -e $sqliteresult

Hoping it helps :)
