Access dev.db from the command line
I'm trying to access the Prisma database that my JavaScript App uses from the command line. I'm a NOOB with Prisma. I tried sqlite on Ubuntu and it complained that the database was encrypted. Can I access/manipulate a Prisma database from a Linux command line, and if so how? I suspect that has already been answered somewhere ...

Based on the knowledge sources, it appears that Prisma uses SQLite databases that are not encrypted by default. The issue you're experiencing might be related to how Prisma structures its database files.
To access your Prisma SQLite database from the command line, you have a few options:
1. Use Prisma Studio: This is the official GUI tool for browsing and editing data in your Prisma database.
Prisma Studio provides a user-friendly interface to view and modify your data.
2. Use the SQLite CLI: If your database is truly a standard SQLite database (which it should be if you haven't specifically encrypted it), you should be able to access it with the SQLite command line tool:
The database file is typically located in the
prisma directory and named dev.db as shown in the Quickstart guide.
3. Use Prisma REPL: A community-maintained tool that allows you to execute ad-hoc queries against your database.
If you're still encountering issues with the database being "encrypted," it's worth noting that standard Prisma SQLite databases are not encrypted by default. According to the knowledge sources, SQLite encryption is not currently supported out-of-the-box with Prisma, as mentioned in the GitHub issue about encrypted SQLite databases.
If you need more specific help, please provide details about the exact error message you're receiving when trying to access the database.
