sqlite3 ".import FILE TABLE ";

can someone clarify:

1) Can I import into a file into a db table where they are more columns in the 
db table than in the file to upload?
>From my understanding its a no.


2) In this case the ordering of the columns of the table has to be consistent 
with the ordering of the columns in the file that is to be uploaded
>From my understanding its a yes.

3) From a linux box whats the easiest way of backing up the db  in perl or 
shell?

Can I lock the $sqlitedb first (how?) and then cp $sqlitedb /usr/local/db/backup


Thanks
