An error occurred: File is not a SQLite 3 Database

Asked By Carol K Simons 10 points N/A Posted on - 03/05/2013

Hello,

I use SQLite 3 to build an encrypted database. But when I try to open the database with a browser, an error message appears and it says that the file is not a SQLite 3 Database.

Please find the below screenshot for your reference.

Could anyone suggest some solutions please?

Thank you very much.

Hi,

I read your post regarding an error you encountered when you tried opening the database you created in a browser. I suggest these workarounds:

1. You can use the SQlite plugin to create your database
2. Immediately after opening the database, you can execute a "pragmakey=" command or you can call the function sqlite3_key

If the above workarounds don't work, then you make have a version mismatch.

Hope this helps
