is among the words AND find words

[Pete]

I think I tried that but the arguments aren't always comma delimited
unfortunately.  Somewhat related,I wish SQLite provided more formatted
access to the table structures.  Some stuff is available via the PRAGMA
statements but for other information, there's no alternative but to parse
the CREATE TABLE statement.  I think I found a series of SQL statements
once that built the equivalent of mySQL Information tables for SQLite but
now I can't find it!
