[Haskell-beginners] Can't find or open a Sqlite3 database in Windows Vista

[Patrick Lynch]

...could this be the problem...in Windows Vista I cannot change the file name in the directory c:\Program Files (x86)\Haskell Platform\2010.2.0.0\winghci but can change it in c:\users\user directory...

    ...> ren  "c:\Program Files (x86)\Haskell Platform\2010.2.0.0\winghci\test1.db" test2.db
    Access is denied.

...but I can see the contents of this file:

    ...> type test1.db
    hello, world!

...is it possible to specify the directory c:\users\user in ghci so that Sqlite3 will look there to open the database and then to create a table in it?

Good day

  ...seems like I 'kicked over another bee hive'...plenty of messages in regard to this when you do google search--->[sqlite3.operational error unable to open database file in windows vista]

  ...i'm getting the following error messages when I try to create a database in Sqlite3:

  *Sandbox> dbh <- connect "poddbtest.db"
  *** Exception: SqlError {seState = "", seNativeError = 21, seErrorMsg = "prepare 6: BEGIN: unable to open database file"}

  *Sandbox> dbh <- connect "test1.db"
  *** Exception: SqlError {seState = "", seNativeError = 1, seErrorMsg = "step: SQL logic error or missing database"}

  Both come from Chapters 21 and 22 in "Real World Haskell"

  I can't invoke Sqlite3 from the command line using---> Sqlite3 myDatabase.db...
  I created blank files in folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Haskell Platform\2010.2.0.0\winghci -- seemed to get me a bit further along...at least I was able to connect...

  Is it possible to specify the folder that the database should be created in?
  Is it possible to run Sqlite3 from the command line - when it has been installed using the Haskell wiki?
  Has anyone had better success with MySql - I've used it in the past and it was very reliable?

  Thank you
