select m.name as TableName,

i.pk as PrimaryKeySeq
from sqlite_master as m,
pragma_table_info(m.name) as i

returns Error: near "notnull": syntax error
however, quoting "notnull" works:
select m.name as TableName,
i.cid as ColumnID,
i.name as ColumnName,
i.type as Affinity,
i."notnull" as CanBeNull,
i.dflt_value as DefaultValue,
i.pk as PrimaryKeySeq
from sqlite_master as m,
pragma_table_info(m.name) as i
where m.type='table';
returns:
advisory|0|advisory|integer|0||1

advlink|0|program|text|1||1

Is there a way to make the "column names" returned by a pragma (eg,
pragma_table_info) table not be interpreted as a reserved word? While it is
not a bug per-se, it is annoying to have to quote (what one would hope are)
properly composed column names (even though there are many folks who habitually
use column name quoting as a matter-of-course because many ill-conceived tools
generate badly-formed column-names or quote wildly). It one typically only
used well-formed column names, then having to quote is downright ugly ...
