Simon,
If you develop bussiness software, where you know exactly the querys because
you are writing them, then there is no problem at all. But other kind of
software, like a database manager, need all available metadata. And more
metadata info is better, for sure. And this is my case now.
Yep. That's what
<http://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_table_info>
is for.
No, sorry. It's not. That pragma shows information about a given table,
and that it's ok. But it's not what I'm talking about. Please, reread my
first post. A simple sentence like:
SELECT * FROM mytable AS myalias
causes that sqlite3_column_table_name() returns "mytable" for every
column. And what I'm asking for is a function that returns "myalias" in
that case. No less no more. In my previous message I attached a patch
that adds the function sqlite3_column_table_alias_name(), which does the
job.
IMHO, sqlite3_column_table_name() should returns the table alias, and
there should be another function sqlite3_columns_orgtable_name() which
returns the original table name. But now, it's not desirable to break
backwards compatibility.
Regards,
Jose F. Gimenez
