This is not the SQLite core but the sqlite command-line shell. The command line shell accumulates input until it sees a line that ends with a semicolon. If an input line ends with a semicolon and the accumulated input passes the sqlite3_complete() test, only then is the input passed into the sqlite core to be processed. By putting comments after the semicolons, you are hiding the semicolons from the command-line shell and causing the input processing to be deferred. To insure that input has been processed, put a semicolon on a line by itself. Extra semicolons will not hurt anything. -- D. Richard Hipp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
