Opening SQLite Databases Directly
SQLite databases can also be opened directly and can be used transparently instead of a DuckDB database file. In any client, when connecting, a path to a SQLite database file can be provided and the SQLite database will be opened instead.  
For example, with the shell, a SQLite database can be opened as follows:  
```bash
duckdb sakila.db
```  
```sql
SELECT first_name
FROM actor
LIMIT 3;
```  
| first_name |
