  That doesn't quite mean Core Data files are a good way to learn
SQLite as you seemed to originally imply. The statement you quoted
seems to imply that you already know how SQLite works and want to
learn how Core Data goes about doing things specifically. The two are
definitely not equal.

  ... then this topic belongs on another mailing list, though I
already answered this above. If you're already in the SQLite CLI tool
and wanting to learn to use it, then yeah, this is definitely
off-topic for the cocoa-dev list.

  Specifically: A unix users list for the "how to get to things with
the command line", and a SQLite users list for using SQLite.
