[sqlite] Column names including spaces
I seem to have stumbled upon what looks like a bug in SQLite. I accidentally created a column in a table that included a space in its name,eg Col 1. The CREATE TABLE command accepted without an error but if I try to access that column in any way, I get an error, no matter whether I specify the column name with no quotes, single quotes or double quotes. For example if I SELECT Col 1 FROM... I get a syntax error near 1 (which I'd expect). If I try 'SELECT CoL 1 FROM..., I get and error no such column Col1 - notice there is no space in the column name listed in the error message. I'm not unduly concerned since this column name should never have had a space in it in the first place but perhaps CREATE TABLE should flag an error in this situation if the column can't be accessed? -- Pete ___ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users

Column names enclosed in double quotes do work in SQLite. -- Igor Tandetnik ___ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users

Are you escaping the quotes for whatever language / tool you are using so they are passed to SQLITE?
