I am having this:
C:\>sqlite3 ex1
SQLite version 3.6.17
Enter ".help" for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"
is it ok? just to check before to start the assignment.

Anything greater than 3.4, as required by Assignment 0. I should have been more clear about the version. Depending on your system you may have both sqlite and sqlite3 commands. The former may be major version 2. You don't want to use that. Regarding DESCRIBE, that would depend on if you mean as defined by the SQL-92 standard or the command line sql processor keyword as implemented by some database vendors. DESCRIBE in SQL-92 is used to gain information about the input or output of prepared statements. DESCRIBE in SQL*Plus and some other command line sql processors provides information about a tables columns. In sqlite3 use the .schema command I mentioned before. That version is fine. Anything greater than 3.4, as required by Assignment 0.
