It is also quite specific about which quotes to use: single-quotes
for string literals, double quotes for identifiers. An identifier
is a table/view, index, database, or column name.
In your original statement you mix them at will, using both single
and double for identifiers:
UPDATE 'KEYS' SET 'IVAndKey'=:VVV WHERE "ItemID"=?NNN
All of these are identifiers, and all of them should use double quotes:
UPDATE "KEYS" SET "IVAndKey"=? WHERE "ItemID"=?
As the page you reference explains, the use of single quotes works
for identifiers, in some cases, but can actually make the situation
worse and "Programmers are cautioned not to use the two exceptions...."
There have been serious discussions in the recent past about making
SQLite's quote usage more strict. Quoting is a good idea, but
incorrect quoting is worse than no quoting at all.
