Use ".open FILENAME" to reopen on a persistent database.įoo:1: expected 3 columns but found 1 - filling the rest with NULL ⬥ cat fooĬonnected to a transient in-memory database. Perhaps you could post a complete transcript showing what you did, and the result? Like the below, where I tried (and failed, as I fully expected) to replicate your result. What do you expect to happen? Another oddity: The ascii mode does not treat quote characters specially, yet in your example, something happens to quotes.
