SQLite - Run multi-line SQL script from file?

Question

I have the following SQL in a file, user.sql:

CREATE TABLE user
(
  user_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
  username varchar(255),
  password varchar(255)
);

Answer 1

Here is bernie's python example upgraded to handle exceptions in the script instead of silently failing (Windows 7, ActiveState Python 3.x)

import sqlite3
import os
import os.path
import ctypes

databaseFile = '.\\SomeDB.db'
sqlFile = '.\\SomeScripts.sql'

# Delete the old table
if os.path.isfile(databaseFile):
    os.remove(databaseFile)

# Create the tables
qry = open(sqlFile, 'r').read()
sqlite3.complete_statement(qry)
conn = sqlite3.connect(databaseFile)
cursor = conn.cursor()
try:
    cursor.executescript(qry)
except Exception as e:
    MessageBoxW = ctypes.windll.user32.MessageBoxW
    errorMessage = databaseFile + ': ' + str(e)
    MessageBoxW(None, errorMessage, 'Error', 0)
    cursor.close()
    raise
