sqliteHow do I format a SQLite database?


SQLite is a powerful and easy-to-use database engine. To format a SQLite database, you must first define the schema of the database. This is done by creating tables that define the columns and data types of each field.

For example, the following code creates a table named users with three columns: id, name, and age:

CREATE TABLE users (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
    name TEXT NOT NULL,
    age INTEGER NOT NULL
);

Once the table is created, you can insert data into it with the INSERT statement. For example, the following code inserts a new user into the users table with an id of 1, a name of "John", and an age of 25:

INSERT INTO users (id, name, age) VALUES (1, 'John', 25);

You can also use the UPDATE statement to modify existing data in the table. For example, the following code updates the name of the user with an id of 1 to "Jane":

UPDATE users SET name = 'Jane' WHERE id = 1;

You can also delete data from the table with the DELETE statement. For example, the following code deletes the user with an id of 1:

DELETE FROM users WHERE id = 1;

Finally, you can query the database with the SELECT statement. For example, the following code selects all users from the users table:

SELECT * FROM users;
