stuck on the basics: how do I import a .csv file into a table in xeus sqlite Jupyterlab?

Hi, and thanks for developing xeus sqlite for Jupyter.

Unfortunately, I'm stuck on the basics. I successfully installed xeus sqlite on my x86 Linux machine and created a new database. However, I can't seem to figure out how to next import .csv file into a sqlite table with xeus sqlite. The sqlite .commands don't seem to work as illustrated below:

%CREATE /home/mikes/Databases-sqlite/testSQLite.db namedb

%LOAD /home/mikes/Databases-sqlite/testSQLite.db

.mode csv

Error: near ".": syntax error

.import /home/mikes/R-files/mtcars.csv testTable

Error: near ".": syntax error

Thanks!
