What SQLite column name can be/cannot be?

Question

Is there any rule for the SQLite\'s column name?

• Can it have characters like \'/\'?
• Can it be UTF-8?

Answer 1

Valid field names are subject to the same rules as valid Table names. Checked this with SQlite administrator.

1. Only Alphanumeric characters and underline are allowed
2. The field name must begin with an alpha character or underline

Stick to these and no escaping is needed and it may avoid future problems.
