SQLite项目提供了一个简单的命令行程序sqlite3，它允许用户对SQLite数据库手动输入和执行SQL语句。更多详情可参考官网（https://www.sqlite.org/cli.html）。

• SQL语句 

        执行sqlite3二进制文件（编译源码包所生成），键入SQL语句示例如下，创建表、插入数据、查询数据并按日期顺序排列：

        如上，可以通过“.table”命令查看数据库文件中的表。另外，可以通过“.schema”命令显示数据库的完整架构。

• 页面缓存 

        以下命令可以查看或暂时设置在内存中页面缓存的最大尺寸。其中pages值表示在缓存中的页面数。内置页面缓存的默认大小为 2000 页，最小尺寸为 10 页。一页表示1K。

pragma cache_size;
pragma cache_size = pages;

        例如设置1000页并查看页面缓存大小：
