There are two ways to create a new database in SQLite:

  1. Using the SQLite command-line tool
  2. Using a GUI tool

To create a new database using the SQLite command-line tool, you can use the following command:

Code snippet

sqlite3 database_name.db

For example, the following command creates a new database called my_database.db:

Code snippet

sqlite3 my_database.db

Once you have created a new database, you can start creating tables and inserting data into them.

To create a new database using a GUI tool, you can use a tool such as DB Browser for SQLite. DB Browser for SQLite is a free and open-source GUI tool that can be used to manage SQLite databases.

To create a new database using DB Browser for SQLite, follow these steps:

  1. Open DB Browser for SQLite.
  2. Click on the "File" menu and select "New Database".
  3. In the "New Database" dialog box, enter a name for the database and click on the "Create" button.
  4. The new database will be created and opened in DB Browser for SQLite.

Once you have created a new database, you can start creating tables and inserting data into them.
