Hey everyone! I'm just starting out with coding and I need some help. I wrote this function to open a database:
```javascript
export function getDB() {
return SQLite.openDatabase("mixmaster.db");
}
```
However, I'm running into an error that says: `ERROR [TypeError: SQLite.openDatabase is not a function (it is undefined)]`. Am I doing something wrong? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

I figured out the issue! Instead of `SQLite.openDatabase`, you need to use `SQLite.openDatabaseAsync`. Shoutout to aizzod and HashDefTrueFalse for pointing me in the right direction!
Honestly, asking AI can be really helpful too! Just learn how to prompt it well, and it can guide you through these kinds of issues.
This question is perfect for AI chatbots. They're really effective for troubleshooting coding problems, especially if you get better at asking the right questions!
Based on the error you're getting, it seems like your code isn't quite right. The error indicates that `openDatabase` isn't recognized as a function. I suggest checking the documentation for your library and looking for examples that show how to properly open a database.
Is there actually an `openDatabase` method provided by SQLite? Make sure your dependency is installed correctly and included in your project. If it’s not, check the documentation for what the correct method should be.
Great job on finding the solution! Just a tip for next time: try to include the programming language you're using, format your code correctly for clarity, and provide more context in your questions. Also, don't forget to Google your error messages before asking; it's a useful skill to develop!
