Can't find it here http://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html No, it is undocumented and unsupported. Use at your own risk. It is easy to destroy a database using it, and nobody can help you recover it. >What do I achieve by updating sqlite_master? Until now I thought >that it is just a kind of log for DDL-statements. The table- index- view- and trigger metadata is only stored in the sql column in sqlite_master. It is parsed on every sqlite3_open*(). The in-memory structures you see with PRAGMA table_info() and PRAGMA index_info() are the result of that parsing. >Oliver -- ( Kees Nuyt ) c[_] _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
