Missing a "Create database" command about vscode-sqlite

[BrightSoul]

Just to clarify: I know I can just create a new empty file and name it database.db, and then run a CREATE TABLE comand against it using this extension. However, I think it would be more user-friendly to just have a 'Create database' command and select it as the current database for subsequent queries.

Moreover, when I try to use the "Open Database in Explorer" command on an empty database (file of size 0), nothing happens. I think this is confusing. The database should appear in the Sqlite Explorer even if it's of size 0.

This is fixed in version 0.6.0.

Regarding the command Create database i did not implement it.
What i wanted to do was something like the command File: New File where you can create the file directly in the files explorer and then an sql file already bound to the database is automatically created and opened.
However the vscode api is very limited for the files explorer, and there is no way of implementing something similar to File: New File.
To make your use case a little better i added a New Query option in the files explorer, when right clicking the database, so the process of creating a new database and opening an sql file bound to it is now:
File: New File > [right click the new database] > New Query
Instead of:
File: New File > SQLite: New Query > Use Database > [select the new database]

That's a bug, already fixed in the master branch.

Create database will be added for release 0.6.0, that should come soon.

Cool, thanks for your quick reply!

Ok, it can't be helped then, I guess. Thanks you for your effort @AlexCovizzi, I've really appreciated it.
