sqliteHow do I open a database with SQLite?


  1. To open a database with SQLite, you need to first create a connection to the database. This can be done using the sqlite3.connect() function, which takes the name of the database file as an argument. For example:
import sqlite3

conn = sqlite3.connect('my_database.db')
  1. Once the connection is established, you can use the cursor() method to create a cursor object which can be used to execute SQL commands. For example:
cursor = conn.cursor()
  1. Once the cursor object is created, you can use the execute() method to execute SQL commands. For example:
cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM my_table')
  1. The fetchall() method can be used to fetch all the rows from the result set. For example:
rows = cursor.fetchall()
  1. Finally, the close() method can be used to close the connection to the database. For example:
conn.close()
  1. More information about SQLite and how to use it can be found in the SQLite Documentation.

  2. A tutorial on how to use SQLite in Python can be found in the Python SQLite Tutorial.
