The statement is generated from a query represented as a list of lists (outer
list is OR, inner list is AND, each item is a term). I add extra parentheses
just to help me keep the statement meaning clear.

This comes from my code, but I get the same thing from the sqlite3 command
line.
Interestingly, that statement now, works, but this one (similar) doesn't.

Hmmm... There are indices. I recently modified the splits table, removing
"NOT NULL" from a column. I then copied the data into the new table using:
CREATE TABLE splits_new (...)
INSERT INTO splits_new SELECT FROM splits
DROP TABLE splits
ALTER TABLE splits_new RENAME TO splits
How can I force the indices to be regenerated?
