Please do not confuse "SQLite" and the command-line shell. The command-line shell is a small (and stupid) program that uses SQLite to access an SQLite database. The complete source code to the command-line shell is in the file "shell.c". The command-line shell is rather limited in what it can do in terms of output formatting. If you need something more elaborate (which you apparently do) then I would suggest writing a short script in your favorite dynamic language to open the database, extract the information you want, then present it in whatever format seems appropriate. A full-featured language is a much better tool for doing that sort of thing than a simple command-line shell. -- D.
