Hi,
Never any intention to fix the parsing in the driver ;)
The sql92 standard says nothing about newlines in the sql statments, and
are defined more like complete sentences.
The select statement parsing in the driver parses according to the
select definition at sqlite.org -> http://sqlite.org/lang_select.html ,
with the exceptions(or rules) that you have added to the documentation
about forming select statements.
