Or try:

.mode lines
.null <NULL>
select * from tablename limit 1;

The output is more readable if tablename has many columns and also provides
some example data for each column.

Subject: [sqlite] How can i get the column's names from a table with the
sqlite.exe command line ?

Bonjours, Christian.

As far as I know, you could either:

   Parse them from the output of
                         .schema tablename

   or, more simply, if the table is non-empty:
      .headers on
      select * from tablename limit 1;
   and pay attention to only the first of the two lines of output (the
headers)
