SQLite3 Mode "dot command" Conflicts

Chris Lane edited this page Oct 19, 2016 · 1 revision

The sqlite3 client uses "dot-commands" (commands prefaced with a .) for various purposes. For example, .tables lists the tables present in a database.

When using novahot in sqlite3 mode, the leading . must be omitted when issuing a dot-command. This is because the node repl (upon which the shell is built) reserves dot commands for its own purposes.

Simply omit the leading . to issue a dot-command. (Ex: Use tables instead of .tables, help instead of .help, and so on.) The dot-commands will behave as expected.
