No one can complain about that. Acknowledged, not every selected column will have a name in the catalog or designated alias. For those that do, though, I think both the standard and common sense, not to mention logical consistency, indicate the column ought to be known by its name. That unifies how the user references it in SQL and in the API. What could be simpler? --jkl _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
