Hello, Ivo,

Regarding:
   
   "I hope my logarithm and standard deviation suggestion make it into
the list of possible future features."

Since sqlite is used for everything from tiny mp3 player firmware to
multi-gigabyte databases, the "lite" requirement precludes inclusion of
too many functions in the base package.   It appears you may find
exactly what you're looking for in a contributed extension referenced
below.   

Sqlite also makes it easy to program your own extensions.

I know I could get columne names.  nevertheless, I find that
  SHOW columns FROM table
was a pretty intuitive way to get this information.  information schema
is less intuitive, but I would be happy to have something that works
across the board.  why not have all of them?

I hope my logarithm and standard deviation suggestion make it into the
list of possible future features.

thanks for the sqlitebrowser note.

regards,
