I'm using SQLite3 on Windows, but when I open my database with sqlite3 mydatabase.db
, the usual sqlite>
prompt does not appear, and I can't see what I'm typing. Commands still execute, but it's difficult to work without visibility. I've tried enabling .echo on
, setting .prompt sqlite>
, and checking .show
settings, but nothing restores the prompt. This happens in both CMD and PowerShell. How can I fix this issue and make my input visible again?
Running sqlite3 mydatabase.db
in both CMD and PowerShell—expected to see the sqlite\>
prompt, but it doesn’t appear.
Enabling .echo
on expected to see my commands as I type, but it didn’t help.
Checking .show
settings everything seems normal, but the prompt is still missing.
This issue happens because my system chooses the first matching executable found in the PATH environment variable. In your case, MSYS2's SQLite3 (C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin)
is higher in priority than your intended installation (F:\Installed programes\sqlite3\)
