sqlite3: Open an interactive shell against an existing database.
$ sqlite3 ${path-to-database-sqlite3}
try on your machine

This command is used to open and access a SQLite database file. Here's a breakdown of what each component does:

  • sqlite3: This is the command-line tool used to interact with SQLite databases.

  • ${path-to-database-sqlite3}: This is a placeholder indicating that you should replace it with the actual file path of your SQLite database file. The file extension for SQLite databases is usually .sqlite3, but it can vary depending on your setup.

By running this command and replacing ${path-to-database-sqlite3} with the appropriate file path, you will open the SQLite database file in the SQLite shell, allowing you to execute various SQL commands and interact with the database.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
