First you have to install Python and SQLite on your syatem.
Install Python
Use the following code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade python 
Press y and installation will be completed within seconds.
Install SQLite
Installation steps
type in the following command:
sudo apt-get install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev After installation check installation, sqlite terminal will give you a prompt and version info ?
sqlite3 Go to desired folder and create database:
sqlite3 database.db
It’ll create database.db in the folder you’ve given the command.
To check if your database is created, use the following command in sqlite3 terminal:
.databases Note: To connect SQLite with Python, you do not need to install the connection module separately because its being shipped by default along with Python version 2.5.x onwards.
SQLite with Python
Create a python file “connect.py”, having the following code:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sqlite3
conn = sqlite3.connect('javatpoint.db')
print "Opened database successfully"; Execute the following statement on command prompt:
python connect.py 
Now connection is created with the javatpoint database. Now you can create a table.
Create a table
Create a table “Employees” within the database “javatpoint”.
Create a python file “createtable.py”, having the following code:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sqlite3
conn = sqlite3.connect('javatpoint.db')
print "Opened database successfully";
conn.execute('''''CREATE TABLE Employees
(ID INT PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
NAME TEXT NOT NULL,
AGE INT NOT NULL,
ADDRESS CHAR(50),
SALARY REAL);''')
print "Table created successfully";
conn.close() Execute the following statement on command prompt:
python createtable.py 
A table “Employees” is created in the “javatpoint” database.
Insert Records
Insert some records in “Employees” table.
Create a python file “connection.py”, having the following code:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sqlite3
conn = sqlite3.connect('javatpoint.db')
print "Opened database successfully";
conn.execute("INSERT INTO Employees (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY) \
VALUES (1, 'Ajeet', 27, 'Delhi', 20000.00 )");
conn.execute("INSERT INTO Employees (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY) \
VALUES (2, 'Allen', 22, 'London', 25000.00 )");
conn.execute("INSERT INTO Employees (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY) \
VALUES (3, 'Mark', 29, 'CA', 200000.00 )");
conn.execute("INSERT INTO Employees (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY) \
VALUES (4, 'Kanchan', 22, 'Ghaziabad ', 65000.00 )");
conn.commit()
print "Records inserted successfully";
conn.close() Execute the following statement on command prompt:
python connection.py 
Records are inserted successfully.
Select Records
Now you can fetch and display your records from the table “Employees” by using SELECT statement.
Create a python file “select.py”, having the following code:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sqlite3
conn = sqlite3.connect('javatpoint.db')
data = conn.execute("select * from Employees");
for row in data:
print "ID = ", row[0]
print "NAME = ", row[1]
print "ADDRESS = ", row[2]
print "SALARY = ", row[3], "\n"
conn.close(); Execute the following statement on command prompt:
python select.py 
See all the records you have inserted before.
By same procedures, you can update and delete the table in SQLite database usnig Python.
