This is probably a stupid question but has frustrated me a couple of times.
When using the command line interface sqlite3, a couple of times I have
forgotten to use the "." before a command. After that I get a "...>"
prompt that I can't seem to escape from and accepts no commands? My
only choice is to shut down that terminal and start a new one..
There must be an easy way to get back to the command mode? And what is
the "...>" mode?
Type a semicolon on a line by itself. You'll then get a syntax
error and you will be back at the command prompt.
Where I get tripped up is making a typo in a multiline query that may
have destructive effects if I terminate with a ';' and allow the CLI to
execute the query. To date I have aborted the CLI with a ^C (MS
Windows). I would love have a means of escaping/cancelling back to the
prompt without executing from a partially entered query. Perhaps the
escape key is a good candidate for actioning this functionality should
someone implement it.
