sqlite3 current directory tables can't be found

Based on the threads I read, I know if you launch sqlite3 when you're in whatever folder, then that's your current folder.

But I can't find any existing tables. It's like this:

XXXX/User/Folder$ ls
123.db   344.db
XXXX/User/Folder$ sqlite3
SQLITE version .....
sqlite> .tables
sqlite>

First you must select database because tables exist in specific databases. In Sqlite3 file system file represents separate database. So in your example you have two databases 123.db and 344.db. To select a database simply specify it to sqlite3 cli:

$ sqlite3 123.db
sqlite> .tables

Now you should see the list of tables in database 123.db.
