The difficulty is in determining what "collation_name" needs to be. You may need to create your own. Some pages on the SQLite site which might help: ?http://sqlite.org/lang_select.html ?http://sqlite.org/syntax/ordering-term.html? https://www.sqlite.org/datatype3.html#collation https://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/create_collation.html I don't have the slightest idea if this sort of thing can be used with the supplied "sqlite3" program. It seems to be designed to be used by C programs. I've never used SQLite from Python. -- Schrodinger's backup: The condition of any backup is unknown until a restore is attempted.
