Copy a file X times renaming it with all alphabet letter

Question

I have a database sqlite file called "a.db".

I need to copy it 25 times (once for each letter of the alphabet) to have: b.db, c.db, d.db... ... ... z.db.

How can I do this in the Bash shell?

Answer 1

A for loop and brace expansion.

for pref in {b..z}
do
  cp a.db "$pref.db"
done
