This is done pretty easily. With sqlite3 do a .schema and it will tell you what tables are in the database, as well as the command used to create them. > * Two simple functions would make SQLite much more useful to me are: > > [1] the simple logarithm function "log" or "ln" (which would make a > power function easy), > > [2] the aggregate function "standard deviation" (which together with > the average may well be the most commonly used statistical function). > > > * sqlitebrowser is very buggy under linux when it comes to importing > csv files. often, nothing happens. sometimes, trying a second import > works. just buggy. > > > These should all be trivially easy to add (I hope).

Sqlite3 does have a .import option that works for CSV files great.
