Sqlite is a wonderful program.  A big thanks to its creator.  As a new
user, the following are nuisances, though, so I thought I would
register these as simple suggestions:

* SHOW columns FROM table    --- would be a great addition, if only
for compatibility with MySQL.  Aside, it is easier to remember than a
pragma.


* Two simple functions would make SQLite much more useful to me are:

[1] the simple logarithm function "log" or "ln" (which would make a
power function easy),

[2] the aggregate function "standard deviation"   (which together with
the average may well be the most commonly used statistical function).


* sqlitebrowser is very buggy under linux when it comes to importing
csv files.  often, nothing happens.  sometimes, trying a second import
works.  just buggy.


These should all be trivially easy to add (I hope).  A more complex
request would be to build an "import csv file" functionality into
sqlite itself, but this could have other negative consequences.

thanks again,

/iaw
