sqlite3 - schema in Django with sqlite -

I am new to Django, I was going through this Django site to create a basic application and process SQLite3, MYSQL, is explained about using postgresql ... I have used SQLite3 because they show that this is a large file that makes it easy to use initially.

I have to use the problem facing me. I have checked some of the sites that tell about using it. But I am stuck and I am confused in using it.

What I did

 $ sqlite3 sqlite> .checkma sqlite & gt;  

The above code does not work, so I came to a forum where he asked Mozilla Fox to install an add_on, which does not work for me because it has a compatibility issue was. I also specified the name of the path where my database database is located.

  $ sqlite3 sqlite & gt; /home/ntan3/Django-1.2.3/mysite/eg_sqlite.db  

In which there was an error saying '/' with incorrect syntax.

Sample application explained by Django site can be successfully run.

But I wanted to see the database was created. Can I help guide me in a proper way? Even a specific link is also helpful thanks.
