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

Except for placing "illegal" identifier names between double quotes "identifier#1", [ before and ] after works as well [identifire#2].

Example:

sqlite> create table a0.tt ([id#1] integer primary key, [id#2] text) without rowid;
sqlite> insert into tt values (1,'test for [x] id''s');
sqlite> select * from tt
   ...> ;
id#1|id#2
1|test for [x] id's
