pycharm sqlite>.tables doesn't return anything. I know i'm stupid.lol

There has been a lot of posts on similar questions but I don't see what I'm doing wrong. I'm making a simple game and I wanted to store a players "money" that they get. I'm using pycharm and I'm in the terminal. My code:

from peewee import *
db = SqliteDatabase('money.db')


class Money(Model):
    username = CharField(max_length=255, unique=True)
    amount_of_money = IntegerField(default=0)

    class Meta:
        database = db

if __name__ == '__main__':
    db.connect()
    db.create_tables([Money], safe=True)

from the terminal:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393]

D:\Programs\Python Projects\Bolton>sqlite3 money.db
SQLite version 3.19.3 2017-06-08 14:26:16
Enter ".help" for usage hints.
sqlite> .tables
sqlite>

So once I type in .tables it just goes right to sqlite> for some reason. Any ideas?

So I just figured it out. I'm going to leave this up here in case other students are having the same problem. You have to actually run the code first. Don't just type it in like an idiot (which was me) and then try to find the table. You need to first run the code to generate a table. Then it will work.

Correct! The create_tables has to be run to, say, create the tables! :smile: Good for posting this for others to see. Keep up the good work!
