I tried to write something down, but I was not sure about something. So I searched it in the Internet, then I find that there are some good articles. Here is one: https://www.sqlite.org/cli.html
I will write down some useful commands.
1. How to open a sqlite database file?

sqlite>
3. How to quit (from sqlite command line mode)?
sqlite> .exit
sqlite> .quit
and [ctrl] + d are all OK.
4. How to show all tables in the database?
sqlite> .table
5. How to show all columns in a table?
sqlite> select * from tbl_TimeSetting;
You'd better to execute the following sentence to change the mode to display the column names.
.mode line
The default mode is list, it seems like this:
sqlite> .mode list
sqlite> select * from tbl_TimeSetting;
0|1|0|0|0|0|0|12|0|0|0|0|30|50|0|0|1|0|0|0|16200|0|1|1452664121|2858
and the line mode is:
sqlite> .mode line
sqlite> select * from tbl_TimeSetting;
_id = 0
bOnTimeFlag = 1
bOffTimeFlag = 0
enOffTimeState = 0
...
update TABLE_NAME where CONDITION set COLUMN=VALUE;
For example:
update tbl_ThreeDVideoMode where InputSrcType=42 set eThreeDVideo3DTo2D=7;
