I have this chinook.db database file that I have stored in C:\sqlite\db, and everytime I try accessing it using the sqlite shell by the command .open C:\sqlite\db\chinook.db, sqlite creates a sqlitedbchinook.db database file in the home directory. Why is this happening and how do I resolve my issue ?enter image description here

From Command Line Shell For SQLite:

....You might want to use a full pathname to ensure that the file is in the directory that you think it is in. Use forward-slashes as the directory separator character. In other words use "c:/work/ex1.db", not "c:\work\ex1.db".

Change to:

.open "C:/sqlite/db/chinook.db"
