How to create a DB file in sqlite3 using a .schema file

database, db-schema, dbimport, import, sqlite

Solution

If that file contains only SQL commands in the correct format, get the `sqlite3` command-line tool, and run it like this:

sqlite3 mydatabase.db < db.schema

Many SQLite administration tools also have functions to import such a file.

Problem

Our client has provided us with a file named `db.schema`. Now is there a command which I can use to run this file to create a `.db` file in sqlite3? Can I do this without having to type in all the queries mentioned in the `db.schema` file? Please help! Thanks!
