I am able to create an encrypted database using pysqlcipher, and open it with pysqlcipher, but somehow I cannot open the same database using the sqlcipher tool installed on Mac OS X by installing sqlcipher. For installation, I followed the steps listed here: https://github.com/leapcode/pysqlcipher/issues/17#issuecomment-113776360
Test script:
from pysqlcipher import dbapi2 as sqlite
conn = sqlite.connect('test.db')
c = conn.cursor()
c.execute("PRAGMA key='test'")
c.execute('''create table stocks (date text, trans text, symbol text, qty real, price real)''')
c.execute("""insert into stocks values ('2006-01-05','BUY','RHAT',100,35.14)""")
conn.commit()
c.close()
conn = sqlite.connect('test.db')
c = conn.cursor()
c.execute("PRAGMA key='test'")
c.execute("SELECT * FROM stocks;")
print(c.fetchall())
c.close()
Now, I attempt to open the test.db file using the sqlcipher command-line tool:
$ sqlcipher test.db
SQLCipher version 3.8.8.3 2015-02-25 13:29:11
Enter ".help" for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"
sqlite> PRAGMA key='test';
sqlite> SELECT * FROM stocks;
Error: file is encrypted or is not a database
