Or to be more explicit: in the File->Open dialog you use the data format 
"file" for both xml or sqlite3. Just locate your sqlite3 saved file and open 
it. GnuCash will determine internally whether you opened an xml or an sqlite3 
data file.

As John already stated, only when you run Save As, you explicitely have to 
tell GnuCash whether you wish to save in xml or sqlite3.
