According to http://www.sqlite.org/lang_select.html and http://www.sqlite.org/lang_expr.html one can use in select statement as a result column one of the following: - * - table_name.* (I assume that instead of table_name one can use table alias too) - any expression
Expression can consist of the single column in the form [[database_name.]table_name.]column_name So nobody says that database_name.table_name.* should work and behavior is as intended and documented. Though from the point of view of outside user it seems logical for this to work of course.
