Wouldn't that be a better approach? This does seem like a good approach. I think the thing that always concerned me about it was that, although the FROM line would probably be trivially to parse in most situations, I could imagine things getting pretty complex in some queries and I would be worried that I might miss parse it in certain situations. This, of course, is mostly a problem for people writing wrappers around SQLite, where the end user is using the API defined in the wrapper. If I'm using SQLite directly, there is no problem.
