SQLite CREATE Database In this SQLite tutorial, here is how you can create a new database: Open the Windows Command Line tool (cmd.exe) from the start, type “cmd” and open it. From the Installation and packages tutorial, you should now have created an SQLite folder in the “C” directory and copied the sqlite3.exe on it.
Start the sqlite3 program by typing "sqlite3" at the command prompt, optionally followed by the name the file that holds the SQLite database (or ZIP archive). If the named file does not exist, a new database file with the given name will be created automatically.
In SQLite, sqlite3 command is used to create a new SQLite database.
As new file is created in current directory, for creating file at different location you should follow this format:
eg. for storing file FILENAME.db at c:/users/xyz/abc you should type
sqlite>.open c:/users/xyz/abc/FILENAME.db
and then press enter a new file will be created at the mentioned path.
and now when you will type .databases you will see your file listed in the list of databases.
