sqliteHow do I create a book database using SQLite?


Creating a book database using SQLite is simple. First, you need to create a table to store your book data. The example below creates a table called books with four fields: title, author, year and price:

CREATE TABLE books (
    title TEXT,
    author TEXT,
    year INTEGER,
    price REAL
);

Then, you can insert books into the table using the INSERT statement. The following example inserts a book with title 'The Catcher in the Rye', author 'J.D. Salinger', published in 1951 and a price of 10.99:

INSERT INTO books (title, author, year, price)
VALUES ('The Catcher in the Rye', 'J.D. Salinger', 1951, 10.99);

You can also query the table to get information about the books. For example, the following query retrieves all books written by J.D. Salinger:

SELECT title, year, price
FROM books
WHERE author = 'J.D. Salinger';

The output of this query would be:

title       year    price
The Catcher in the Rye  1951    10.99

Finally, you can also delete books from the table using the DELETE statement. For example, the following statement deletes the book 'The Catcher in the Rye' from the table:

DELETE FROM books
WHERE title = 'The Catcher in the Rye';
