PHP Development Techdegree Student 12,790 PointsPlease where is the database.sql in the attached project files?
The database.db file in the project folder is not working with phpmyAdmin. I'm getting an error while trying to import the database.db into my local development environment. The error says: 1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'SQLite format 3' at line 1

Treehouse Moderator 91,252 PointsThis has confused me at certain times too. the database file was created for you as part of the project and is hidden away as it is a different type of file that can't easily be edited in a text editor. It's a binary file and one that is created in a command-line application.
It might be work looking at the files and see what queries you're using in your functions.php file. Any changes will override what is currently in your database file.
