I had a bad programming experience with temporary tables and after some googling I found this old post
[sqlite] How to select from a temp table with same name as a main table. dochsm Tue, 18 Jun 2013 05:39:04 -0700 that illustrated exactly the same troubles. In short, if you have a table named A and a temporary table named TEMP.A, then if you want to refer to the A table, it is strongly recommended to explicitly call it MAIN.A ( otherwise if you simply refer to A, you will pick ... TEMP.A ) In my opinion, and for my experience, I find this behavior counter-intuitive, so I ask if it's possibile to change it in a future release, so that "A" always refer to MAIN.A and TEMP.A refers to TEMP.A. Since this change may break some old programs logic, I suggest to introduce a new PRAGMA named "IMPLICIT_MAINDB_PREFIX" (or or better name ..), so that if a table-name is not prefixed by a db-name, then MAIN is assumed. regards A.Buratti _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
