 Sorry, the '\n' was not well placed. It should have been


 {{{
 echo "SELECT count(*) FROM boundary_county WHERE Z_MEAN > 38;\n SELECT
 count(*) FROM boundary_county;" | db.select input=-
 database=GRASS/GRASSDATA/NC_spm_temporal_workshop/PERMANENT/sqlite/sqlite.db
 count(*)
 333
 }}}

 So, no error, but the query on the second line does not get executed...
