I'm writing an app which generates text files intended for reading by the shell tool's '.read' command. We're using SQL text files because I'm writing a design which needs to be completely open, understandable, and easily hackable by third parties.
I want to include comments in my SQL files. The following page <http://www.sqlite.org/lang_comment.html> suggests I can use lines that begin with two consecutive "-" characters (ASCII 0x2d). I have done some exploration to find out how the current version of the shell tool handles '<newline>--' inside quotes, inside statements, etc. but since it's not documented I can't be sure future versions will last the same way. Is anyone aware of any problems with this ? Any problems with multi-line quoted text strings containing comments ? Anything else anyone wants to warn me about ? I don't actually need to use the '/*' format, but if anyone wants to talk about that, that's cool too.
