.mode list .separator | .output mytable.sql/.txt .dump mytable _____________ .read mytable.sql/.txt ~Kirk -----Original Message----- From: sqlite-users-boun...@sqlite.org [mailto:sqlite-users-boun...@sqlite.org] On Behalf Of john knops Sent: Wednesday, August 04, 2010 6:57 AM To: sqlite-users@sqlite.org Subject: [sqlite] Re Populating a database from a file Thanks for the prompt reply. What form should the file take. I've tried enclosing the data for each column in double quotes and separating them with either a comma, tab or space but I get an error "expected 5 columns but only found 1. Using | I get "datatype mismatch" Also when I use .dump does it destroy the table or just copies it t a text file? _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
