I am using sqlite3 on a machine where I can use tab completion (ie .read abc<tab> will autocomplete to .read abcdefghij.db. I would like to know how to enable this on my personal machine.

Edit

Both machines are ubuntu linux and the shell is bash. I am referring to autocompletion in the sqlite interactive prompt.

Updated to answer questions. And I am curious why this doesn't qualify as database administration. (I can take the question elsewhere if this isn't the appropriate place for it, but I'd like why it isn't appropriate.) – CoatedMoose Nov 4 '12 at 20:22
I think this is more of an OS than DB thing, but never mind. If you get an answer here, then it's quite OK, I just thought that SU would be a place for getting an answer faster :) (See also the FAQ, if you haven't already seen it.) – dezso Nov 4 '12 at 20:28
I see, I figured that since it was referring to the databases prompt this would be the better option. Here is the su superuser.com/questions/499634/… post – CoatedMoose Nov 4 '12 at 20:55
