Now you need to create your first database on SQLite Manager. Ok here is the process then.

Setting up my first SQLite data base

Click on the “Database” item at top menu bar. Once you click on that, you will be seen several options including “New Database” option. Right then, click on that “New Database ” option.

Now I need to give a proper name to my data base. And I’m going to name my db as “STproject”

NOTE: your SQLite DB file will be saved as in .sqlite format not in .sql format. EX:STproject.sqlite

And once you click OK , you will be asked to choose the folder to save the DB file. So create or select your desired folder and click Select Folder.
