The `.dump` shell command will NOT dump its contents, only the schema, indirectly. I get this from `.dump`:
```
PRAGMA foreign_keys=OFF;
BEGIN TRANSACTION;
PRAGMA writable_schema=ON;
INSERT INTO sqlite_schema(type,name,tbl_name,rootpage,sql)VALUES('table','t','t',0,'CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE "t" using fts5(id,level,su,en)');
PRAGMA writable_schema=OFF;
COMMIT;
```
The only work around is to create another real table (not even a temp one), and then `.dump` that table.
Could this somehow be 'fixed'?
I understand this is possibly not viewed as a bug, but from a practical point of view, it sucks!
I happened to have a single table and took notice of this issue immediately.
But, if it had been part of a multi-table database, I possibly wouldn't have noticed that table's contents are missing from the dump until some time later when I would have to restore the database from the incomplete dump.
