Sorry I am new baby to sqlite3. Now I got it. So I should use the shell script to execute these commands.

You are mixing two technologies... but are limited by their individual limitations -- the SQLite shell that implements the dot commands and the SQL C API that works with the sqlite library. Try to do all your output compress csv dance in C, or use a more flexible development environment (Perl, Python, Tcl, whatever) to accomplish the entire task. > > JP > > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Igor Tandetnik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: sqlite-users@sqlite.org > Sent: Wednesday, April 23, 2008 4:03:20 PM > Subject: Re: [sqlite] sqlite3_exec return an error message > > Joanne Pham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have the following codes to execute the sql file but the error > > message return back that dot(.). > > It seems like sqlite3_exec didn't like ".output wanPerfTableTest". > > So how go to get arround with this command ".output wanPerfTableTest" > > > > strcpy(&stmt[0],".read /tmp/dump_WAN.sql"); > > if (bIsConnected) { > > sqlSt= sqlite3_exec(pDb,stmt , NULL, 0, &errMsg); > > if (sqlSt != SQLITE_OK ) { > > ................... > > } > > } > > Dot commands (.output and, for that matter, .read) are interpreted by > sqlite3 command line utility - not by SQLite engine.
