SQLite - Run multi-line SQL script from file?

Question

I have the following SQL in a file, user.sql:

CREATE TABLE user
(
  user_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
  username varchar(255),
  password varchar(255)
);

Answer 1

I realize that this is not a direct answer to your question. As Brian mentions, this could be a silly platform issue.

If you interface with SQLite through Python, you will probably avoid most platform-specific issues and you get to have fun things like datetime columns :-)

Something like this should work fine:

import sqlite3

qry = open('create_table_user.sql', 'r').read()
conn = sqlite3.connect('/path/to/db')
c = conn.cursor()
c.execute(qry)
conn.commit()
c.close()
conn.close()
