Features are not available before they are introduced. For example, CTE's will not work with 3.6.22.
The "ignore cruft from brain-dead SQL code generators" feature was not added to the parser until after 3.6.22. select * from A JOIN B ON a = b is mere syntactic sugar for select * from A,B where a = b and as such using brackets (in the from list) is useless. A "feature" was added, after 3.6.22, to ignore the excess cruft generated by many brain-dead SQL code generators. It is and always has been syntactically unacceptable to say: select * from A, (B, C), D where a.a = b.b AND b.b = b.c and b.c = b.d Putting brackets around or re-ordering arbitrary clauses in the where clause also serves no useful purpose or effect. The absolute worst and most brain-dead offenders are Microsoft Products (any and all of them) and "Microsoft SQL". The long and the short is that if the brackets do not do anything (ie, are 100% syntactic sugar/atmosphere) then get rid of them. They will only make your (and anyone who must look at your SQL) life miserable. >-----Original Message----- >I have used >#sqlite3 --version >at command line and got 3.6.22 as the version >Does that mean the type of query i am trying wont work? _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
