A quick scan of SQLite sources shows only references to the glob
function, no implementation.  In func.c, we find

    LIKEFUNC(glob, 2, &globInfo, SQLITE_FUNC_LIKE|SQLITE_FUNC_CASE),

It looks to me like SQLite imports glob(3) as its default
implementation.  Have you an example for which a glob pattern behaves
differently in SQLite versus C?  

(For those following along at home, bear in mind that glob(3) need not
necessarily be what your favorite shell uses.)

If indeed SQLite is using the glob function from libc, ISTM it's
perfectly sufficient to refer to glob(7) for syntax, since that's the
documentation for the controlling implementation.
