SQlite.db file not opening

Question

I got .db file from my PM through mail. but i cannot open it using my terminal in Mac, when i type its name, it is creating a new db rather than opening a existed one.

Can anyone let me know whats the problem and how to solve it.

Forgive me if this is too obvious, but are you in the correct folder when calling sqlite3 command? You need to be in the folder where your noble.db file resides. — lawicko

Check Didier answer. Also, you can use pwd command to see the current path. — lawicko

Copy the noble.db file into a folder you have access to in read/write mode.

Note the absolute complete path of this folder (starting with a /) - let's suppose it is /foo/bar

Start your terminal application

Type cd /foo/bar

Type sqlite3 noble.db
