Treehouse TeacherSorry for the error Heri Mardinal.
The version of SQLite in Workspaces isn't the same as in the video. You need to load the database when you open sqlite. To do that type:
sqlite3 database.db

But If you're using the command indicated by Dave McFarland ─ sqlite3 database.db ─ , you won't need to open the database anyway, because it will already be loaded. You can safely skip that command and jump to .tables, and follow along from there.
