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.
