title: How to get to an interactive SQLite command-line prompt in PyCharm Pro with a Django project?
body: <p>My Django project uses an SQLite3 database.  How can I get to the SQLite <a href="https://www.sqlite.org/cli.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">command line shell</a>?  PyCharm has lots of other handy interactive windows</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>manage.py <a href="https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/help/running-tasks-of-manage-py-utility.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">utility console</a></li>
  <li>Python <a href="https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/help/interactive-console.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">console</a></li>
  <li><code>sqlite3&gt;</code> ??</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Why would I want to do this?  I've already figured out <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/21084806/673991">how</a> to get the SITE_ID.  But this would have helped with that.  I want to look under the hood for <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/82875/673991">other reasons</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I've already tried View | Tool Window | Database | right-click | Console, but that's not really a command line interface. </p>
  
  <p>I want to be able to type <code>.help</code> somewhere and get to know my database.</p>
