+## Create a SQLite database
+
+[![rusqlite-badge]][rusqlite] [![cat-database-badge]][cat-database]
+
+Use the `rusqlite` crate to open SQLite databases. See
+[crate][documentation] for compiling on Windows.
+
+[`Connection::open`] will create the database if it doesn't already exist.
+
+```rust,no_run
+extern crate rusqlite;
+
+use rusqlite::{Connection, Result};
+
+fn main() -> Result<()> {
+    let conn = Connection::open("cats.db")?;
+
+    conn.execute(
+        "create table if not exists cat_colors (
+             id integer primary key,
+             name text not null
+         )",
+        &[],
+    )?;
+    conn.execute(
+        "create table if not exists cats (
+             id integer primary key,
+             name text not null,
+             date_of_birth datetime,
+             color_id integer not null references cat_colors(id)
+         )",
+        &[],
+    )?;
+
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
