sqliteHow do I show the tables in a SQLite database?
To show the tables in a SQLite database, you can use the following command:
sqlite> .tables
This will output a list of all the tables in the database, for example:
users orders products
The .tables
command is a dot command, which is a special command that begins with a dot (.
). Dot commands are used to provide meta-information about the database, such as the tables stored in it.
In addition to .tables
, you can also use .schema
to show the SQL CREATE statements for all tables in the database. For example:
sqlite> .schema
CREATE TABLE users (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT);
CREATE TABLE orders (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, user_id INTEGER, product_id INTEGER);
CREATE TABLE products (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT);
The .schema
command is useful for inspecting the structure of the database, such as the column names and data types.
Finally, you can use the SELECT
statement to query the tables in the database. For example:
sqlite> SELECT * FROM users;
1|John
2|Jane
This will output the contents of the users
table.
