Hi All, Thank you so much for your answers.
The Copy command that i have mentioned was found in below link: https://www.sqlite.org/tclsqlite.html#copy But just realized that it is in tcl interface. I overlooked it earlier :( I have tried .import and its working for command line interface. But i need to do a bulk import (copy data from file into table) from c interface. How can i do that? please help.
