 The Windows version of POPFile comes with a simple SQLite command-line utility. The Windows POPFile installer creates a shortcut ("Run SQLite utility") in the 'User Data' folder to make it easy to use the SQLite command-line utility. The utility runs in a Command Prompt window.

 **NOTE**: Binary versions of the SQLite command-line utility which are compatible with SQLite 2.x format databases as used by POPFile 0.21.0 to 1.0.1 are no longer listed on the [[http://www.sqlite.org/download.html | SQLite download page]] though the source code for SQLite 2.8 is still available. **NOTE**: Binary versions of the SQLite command-line utility which are compatible with SQLite 2.x format databases as used by POPFile 0.21.0 to 1.0.1 are no longer listed on the [[http://www.sqlite.org/download.html | SQLite download page]] though the source code for SQLite 2.8 is still available.
