title: Windows Command prompt shell for sqlite3
body: <p>The <a href="http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">documentation</a> states that there is a command-line shell for sqlite3:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>To start the sqlite3 program, just type &quot;sqlite3&quot; followed by the name the file that holds the SQLite database.&quot;</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>When I try this, in the Windows Command Prompt I get the error message:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>'sqlite3' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
  operable program or batch file.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>Windows explorer reveals several 'Sqlite3&quot; folders in various places:</p>
  <pre><code>backends(C:/Python26/Lib/site-packages/django/db)
  Lib(C:/Python26)
  backends(C:/Django-1.1.1/Django-1.1.1/build/lib/django/db
  backends(C:/Django-1.1.1/Django-1.1.1/django/db)
  </code></pre>
  <p>How do I access the shell, can anyone help?</p>
