Why not simply --pretty-print? longish, but obvious. --DD PS: Given that table defs can contain complex expressions in CHECK constraints, is it expected to format those expressions too? (I'd love an SQLite API to format SQL in general, FWIW. I wouldn't care about the format, or its evolution.) PPS: Would it indent lines if one uses an inline FK and long CHECK constraints, or put it all on one line? I tend to embed newlines in my table defs, which SQLite preserves of course, but having a canonical and official way to print table defs, which "overrides" that formatting, sounds like a good idea to me.
