Opening database file from within SQLite command-line shell

Question

I\'m using the SQLite Command Line Shell. As documented, I can open a database by supplying it as an argument to the executable:

sqlite3 data.db

Answer 1

You can attach one and even more databases and work with it in the same way like using sqlite dbname.db

sqlite3
:
sqlite> attach "mydb.sqlite" as db1;

and u can see all attached databases with .databases

where in normal way the main is used for the command-line db

.databases
seq  name             file                                                      
---  ---------------  ----------------------------------------------------------
