Without it, SQLite creates a new, empty database.

231,268 PointsI'm not sure what you mean by "empty db along with the actual db". It should start with just one DB attached, either a new one or one that was loaded. Perhaps you could show the exact commands you use, both to start the console and to examine the tables.

231,268 PointsFor example, here's exactly what I type in the console and what I see (my inputs in italics):
treehouse:~/workspace$ sqlite3 users.db
SQLite version 3.11.0 2016-02-15 17:29:24
Enter ".help" for usage hints.
sqlite> .tables
users
sqlite>

279 PointsI did use users.db and yes, it’s creating an empty db along with the actual db. How do I fix it?
