Unfortunately I easily forget how sql
works, so doing "easy" stuff becomes very time consuming and frustrating.

I think this is a usual problem for us non-regular SQL-users (for any database-system).

To avoid figuring out complex or even simple queries (imho all geo-spatial queries are relatively difficult) I always keep a code-editor-window open, where I copy-paste to and from all successful queries (and also comment on how they work, even if I think it's silly. Next morning I'm grateful for it already).

New queries I usually draft in the code-editor first. This way I don't even have to remember the exact table-names or column names, I can just start typing and wait for the editor's autocomplete-suggestions.

I think this is quite a good way of working, because this way I can always and easily reproduces my work, if anything should go wrong with the databases/views...

Hope this helps avoiding some frustrations. To me, spatialite rocks even with all it's quirks here and there! Thanks to everyone contributing to spatialite and QGIS.
