Avoid message "-​- Loading resources from .sqliterc" - sqlite

Question

Minor problem, nevertheless irritating : Is there a way to avoid the following message from appearing each time I make a query :
-- Loading resources from /Users/ThG/.sqliterc

Answer 1

As a stupid workaround, this works:
<. sqlite your_sqlite.db 'select * from your_table'
This is because the current code does this:
if( stdin_is_interactive ){
utf8_printf(stderr,"-- Loading resources from %s\n",sqliterc);
}
Forcing a stdin redirect thwarts this due to this piece of code:
stdin_is_interactive = isatty(0);
This works as well:
sqlite -batch your_sqlite.db 'select * from your_table'
due to this piece of code:
}else if( strcmp(z,"-batch")==0 ){
/* Need to check for batch mode here to so we can avoid printing
** informational messages (like from process_sqliterc) before
** we do the actual processing of arguments later in a second pass.
*/
stdin_is_interactive = 0;
}
but it's longer, so kind of defeats the purpose.

Answer 2

I know that this question is PRETTY old now, but simply deleting '/Users/ThG/.sqliterc' should solve the problem. '.sqliterc' is a configuration file for sqlite's interactive command line front-end. If you don't spend a lot of time in there, you won't miss the file.

Answer 3

That resource msg comes out on stderr, and it's followed by a blank line, so you could get rid of it with something like this (wrapped up in a script file of its own):
#!/bin/bash
sqlite3 -init /your/init/file /your/sqlite3/file.db "
your
SQL
cmds
" 2>/dev/null | sed -e1d

Answer 4

When using sqlite in shell scripts, you usually don't even want your ~/.sqliterc to be loaded at all. This works well for me:
sqlite3 -init <(echo)
Explanation:
-init specifies the file to load instead of ~/.sqliterc.
<(echo) uses Process Substitution to provide a path to a temporary empty file.

Answer 5

A bit late but #levant pied almost had the solution, you need to pass an additional -interactive to silence the --loading resources from.
$ sqlite3 -batch -interactive

Enter ".help" for usage hints.

Answer 6

You can simply rename your config file to disable the warning. And revert the rename to keep the configuration after use.
I use the following:
#suppress default configuration warnings
mv $HOME/.sqliterc $HOME/.backup.sqliterc
# sqlite3 scripts...
#revert
mv $HOME/.backup.sqliterc $HOME/.sqliterc
