Yes, I expect that at least half of what MySQL uses wouldn't be relevant to SQLite. But don't dismiss the concept due to what may be a flawed or wider implementation. I suspect part of the SQL standard for introspection (or "metadata") is relevant and worth using. But even if none is, please still move away from pragmas to some form of selectable query.
