title: Unable to create sqlite3 database on windows 7 64 bit machine
body: <p>I am trying to create a sqlite3 database on my windows 7 64 bit machine. I have downloaded sqlite-shell-win32-x86-3071502 from <a href="http://www.sqlite.org/download.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.sqlite.org/download.html</a> . After running the sqlite3.exe from the installed folder, I ran the following:</p>
  
  <p>sqlite3 mytest.db;</p>
  
  <p>But I am getting "Error: near "sqlite3": syntax error". </p>
  
  <p>Any help is greatly appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
