While a consistent, comprehensive API would be nice, the problem with pragmas 
is that, even though they return what looks like a result set, they are neither 
selectable, nor queryable in plain SQL.

To me, pragmas look more like part of the problem than the solution due to 
their lack of integration with SQL.

I'm in the opinion that a comprehensive data dictionary, accessible directly 
from SQL, is the way to go.
