I normally use the 3.8.8.3 supplied with MacOS El Capitan. I downloaded version 3.15.1 from the Download page - precompiled command-line tools : (sqlite-tools-osx-x86-3150100.zip).
When I tried copying and pasting multiple or multi-line statements from my editor (jEdit) the command-line shell ignored everything after the first line. This is not the case with 3.8.8.3. If I put ALL the statements on a single long line they are accepted. Is this a bug? Am doing something wrong? Tongue in wrong position? Thanks for any help.
