So, how can I get the correct column types returned for all
columns, while at the same time properly handle column
names containing spaces?
Thanks for any insight.

Answering my own post, I just found that the following works as expected...
set dataType [$db onecolumn "select typeof(\"$colName\") from $table"]
I'm OK with that, but if anyone has a suggestion for a more preferred syntax,
I'm listening.
Also, should space-separated column names "just work" as an argument to
"typeof". That is, is this a bug?
Thanks,
Jeff
No bug here, the typeof function takes an expression as its argument. If
you want to pass a column name that contains special characters as the
expression you need to use the SQL standard double quotes to surround
that column name identifier. SQLite also accepts a MS Access compatible
extension that allows identifiers to be enclosed in square brackets.
'string literal'
"quoted identifier"
[extension quoted identifier]
