Looked like a great idea, Thomas but it doesn't work for me: jk$ echo 'PRAGMA page_size=4096 ;' > twoLiner.sh jk$ echo '.read placesDump.txt ;' >> twoLiner.sh jk$ sqlite3 places.sqlite '.read twoLiner.sh' unknown command or invalid arguments: "read". The file twoLiner.sh does have the expected contents: PRAGMA page_size=4096 ; .read placesDump.txt ; I get the same error if I delete the PRAGMA line and just have the .read in the file. In the man page for sqlite3, .read will "Execute SQL in [a file]". The problem is probably that .read itself is a meta-command, not "SQL"; hence .read cannot be nested. Any other ideas?
