Sorry but the question is not about what an acceptable table name is. It is about how dot-commands in the SQLite shell could accept arguments containing special characters (I recall that those arguments can be table names, file names or various others: boolean, fixed hardcoded values: `.help` in the SQLite shell lists them, as well as reading shell.c.) Please do not convert my thread to a debate about what characters table names should include. -- Benoit Mortgat _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list [email protected] http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
