You can inspect sqlite tables with the sqlite shell.
note that you get into the shell with
sqlite3 database.db
.tables
I also learned that .tables, .index and .schema are helper functions that
query the sqlite_master table on the main database.
Here is an output from my redka database. The sqlite_master table contains all the sqlite objects type, name, tbl_name, rootpage, and sql to create them.
❯ sqlite3 database.db "SELECT * from sqlite_master;"
