returns Error: near "notnull": syntax error however, quoting "notnull" works: select m.name as TableName, i.cid as ColumnID, i.name as ColumnName, i.type as Affinity, i."notnull" as CanBeNull, i.dflt_value as DefaultValue, i.pk as PrimaryKeySeq from sqlite_master as m, pragma_table_info(m.name) as i where m.type='table'; returns: advisory|0|advisory|integer|0||1 advisory|1|advisoryname|text|1|'Unknown'|0 advlink|0|program|text|1||1 advlink|1|advisory|integer|1||2 crew|0|crew|integer|0||1 crew|1|surname|text|1|''|0 crew|2|givenname|text|1|''|0 crewlink|0|program|text|1||1 crewlink|1|crew|integer|1||3 crewlink|2|role|integer|1||2 ... Is there a way to make the "column names" returned by a pragma (eg, pragma_table_info) table not be interpreted as a reserved word? While it is not a bug per-se, it is annoying to have to quote (what one would hope are) properly composed column names (even though there are many folks who habitually use column name quoting as a matter-of-course because many ill-conceived tools generate badly-formed column-names or quote wildly). It one typically only used well-formed column names, then having to quote is downright ugly ... --- Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow!
