Cannot open a database

[OMGerCoder]

Every time I try to open a database I get an error with the following message.
[12:21:29 PM][vscode-sqlite][ERROR] Failed to open database '[REDACTED]\test.db': Parse error near line 4: no such column: table
aster WHERE (type="table" OR type="view")
error here ---^

The extension worked before I downloaded SQLite and added a Path environmental variable, and now it doesn't work. Getting the same issue as posted here.

How to resolve this issue?

I had SQLite installed and ran into this error. Removing the path environment variable fixed the issue for me, but this doesn't seems like a temp fix.

Neither when using latest SQLite 3 distro binary (3.45..3-1) on Arch Linux, nor when using latest precompiled binary (sqlite-tools-linux-x64-3450300.zip) downloaded from sqlite.org

Related pr is #241
Can be resolved temporarily by setting explicitly sqlite executable path to the bundled one. (set "sqlite.sqlite3": "bundled sqlite3 binary path" in settings.json (bin path is /usr/bin/sqlite3 on mac)

For those on Windows, the path is:

%userprofile%\.vscode\extensions\alexcvzz.vscode-sqlite-<version>\bin\sqlite-v<version>-<architecture>.exe

Copy it to the clipboard in PowerShell:

gci "$env:userprofile\.vscode\extensions\alexcvzz.vscode-sqlite-*\bin\sqlite*.exe" | % FullName | scb

Edit: Autocompletion wasn't working either. I switched to the SQLTools extension, which has SQLite support.

Same issue on :

• Manjaro, Code OSS 1.89.1
• PopOS 22.04, VS Code 1.90.2 flatpak

Setting the full path to the sqlite3 did not work.

Same issue here as well

Seeing this error on macOS as well. SQLite database files that opens fine with 'SQLite Viewer' extension fails to open with this extension.

Same error on MacBook. Have to switch to a different plugin https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=yy0931.vscode-sqlite3-editor
