How can I get the list of a columns in a table for a SQLite database?

Question

I am looking to retrieve a list of columns in a table. The database is the latest release of SQLite (3.6, I believe). I am looking for code that does this with a SQL query

Answer 1

The question is old but the following hasn't been mentioned yet.

Another convenient way in many cases is to turn headers on by:

sqlite> .headers on

Then,

sqlite> SELECT ... FROM table

will display a headline showing all selected fields (all if you SELECT *) at the top of the output.
