Note that .import isn't an SQL command, but a command line in the SQLite shell. I don't think the shell is intended to be a 'Do Everything' tool, but a convenience and quick operation tool. As you command line operation shows, it isn't that hard to do the operation with other tools. -- Richard Damon _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
