I don't know what other database engines do, but you are correct that SCHEMA.TABLE.* is not allowed in SQLite. And since the "*" forms are considered bad style (to be used only interactively, and not in applications) we are not motivated to change it, lest developers be tempted to use "*" in their applications. -- D.
