sqliteHow do I open a SQLite database?

  2. To connect to an existing database, the connect() method of the sqlite3 module is used.
  3. The syntax for connect() is as follows:
conn = sqlite3.connect('database_name.db')
  1. If the database does not exist, a new database will be created using the given name.
  2. Once the connection is established, you can create tables, insert data, and perform various operations using SQL commands.
