Is there a > way to surpress the PRAGMA output? Hmm. I don't know whether this might work: .once dummy.txt;PRAGMA busy_timeout=5000;select distinct value from cal_properties where key = 'CATEGORIES' This might route the result of the PRAGMA to your dummy.txt file, which you can ignore. You might have to specify a writable directory. Or you could try sending it to /dev/null or whatever your OS supports as "throw this away". Simon.
