What feature? You are not saying that no other DB you worked with 
allowed you to create indexes, are you? What precisely, in your opinion, 
is so different about how SQLite handles indexes? I don't understand 
your problem at all.

What recommendations did you expect? You can name an index anything you 
want. An index name is only ever used in CREATE INDEX and DROP INDEX 
statements, so the exact name is largely irrelevant.

Nothing forces you to use inexes. You may want to create some to improve 
performance of certain queries, but you don't have to.
