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

This is a query that lists all tables with their columns, and all the metadata I could get about each column as OP requested (as bonus points).

SELECT
  m.name AS table_name, 
  p.cid AS col_id,
  p.name AS col_name,
  p.type AS col_type,
  p.pk AS col_is_pk,
  p.dflt_value AS col_default_val,
  p.[notnull] AS col_is_not_null
FROM sqlite_master m
LEFT OUTER JOIN pragma_table_info((m.name)) p
  ON m.name <> p.name
WHERE m.type = 'table'
ORDER BY table_name, col_id

Thanks to @David Garoutte for showing me how to get pragma_table_info to work in a query.

Run this query to see all the table metadata:

SELECT * FROM sqlite_master WHERE type = 'table'
