How might I do that in sqlite? Technically you could retrieve and parse the CREATE command used to make the TABLE and figure them out. But since they aren't going to be enforced there's little point. There are ways to enforce field length limits entirely within SQLite but they're complicated so post again if you want me to explain TRIGGERs.
