Hi all, I'm sorry if I'm wrong on this list, but I have a small feature request for the CLI.
I regularly import CSV data with a first line of headers into a SQLite database by using the .import command. On the first run the destination table gets automatically created. Later I get more data from the same source and want to add these rows to the same table by using the same command (.import). Unfortunately the (first) header line will this time be interpreted as data instead of as meta data. Thus I request an option for the .import command, that will always regard the first line of input as header information. I suggest we call it -h. If the destination table does not exist yet, then the option is a no op compared to the current implementation. If the destination table already exists, then simply start importing data on line 2. I know that this can be achieved by other means outside SQLite, but I think it should be possible with sqlite3 alone. Otherwise data preprocessing has to be done based on a condition inside the SQLite database, which seems pretty complicated compared to ignoring one line of input.
