How to create an SQLite Database. Use dbHarbor to save time.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create an SQLite database using a command line or dbHarbor: SQLite.

SQLite – CREATE Database using the command-line

sqlite3 command is used to create a new SQLite database.

Use the following syntax to create an empty SQLite database:

> sqlite3 {databasename}

So, if you want to create an SQLite database named “sakila.db”, open terminal and type following command:

> sqlite3 sakila.db

This command will create an empty sakla.db database in the current directory. sqlite3 command will provide a sqlite> prompt after creating a database file successfully.

Use .quit command to quit sqlite prompt:

> sqlite> .quit
