This does not seem to work for 3.0.7 If you have a table named "t" in the main database, and you attach a database that has a table named t in it as attachdb, then pragma attachdb.table_info(t); still seems to give the info for the table t in the main database. Is this a bug or have I got it

Are you sure you do not mean "out of memory" ? That means a malloc failed. What are you calling sqlite3_prepare with? Especially what is the third argument? On Fri, 2004-10-01 at 01:06, Cory Nelson wrote: > Anyone know why I'd get that from an sqlite3_prepare()? -- Edward A. Macnaghten
