This is part of the trusted schema.

Virtual Tables and Functions can be labeled as DIRECT_ONLY, INNOCUOUS, or 
unlabeled.

INNOCUOUS virtual tables and functions can be used anywhere they are allowed 
including in the schema and views and indexes and so forth (provided that they 
would otherwise
 be permitted in that location).  DIRECT_ONLY virtual tables and functions can 
only be used from top-level SQL, ever.

Unlabeled virtual tables and views depend on whether or not the schema is 
trusted.  If the schema containing those things (in views, the schema 
definitions, etc) is untrus
ted, then those unlabeled virtual tables and functions are treated as 
DIRECT_ONLY.  If the schema is trusted, then there are no restrictions on the 
use of unlabeled virtua
l tables and functions.  The TEMP schema is always trusted since it must have 
always been created by the application/user and cannot have been a "crafted 
part" of the data
base.

The dbstat virtual table is DIRECT_ONLY meaning that since 3.30.0 it can only 
be used in top-level (directly issued) SQL and not in a view, even a view 
created in the temp
 database.
