I had forgotten about the system version. Here is my result of the above: <code> [user] type -a sqlite3 sqlite3 is /usr/bin/sqlite3 </code> The recent d/l executable is just 'sqlite'. <code> type -a ~/Downloads/sqlite-tools-osx-x86-3340000/sqlite /Users/user/Downloads/sqlite-tools-osx-x86-3340000/sqlite is /Users/user/Downloads/sqlite-tools-osx-x86-3340000/sqlite /Volumes/femto/FemtoDocuments/MyDB [user] ~/Downloads/sqlite-tools-osx-x86-3340000/sqlite SQLite version 3.34.0 2020-12-01 16:14:00 Enter ".help" for usage hints. Connected to a transient in-memory database. Use ".open FILENAME" to reopen on a persistent database. </code> So, yes I had better fix my path :) Thank you.
