Yes. I should have been clearer. While I could just copy the file for a
sqlite db, this app may use MySQL (or someday, possible other flavors of
SQL database) and I'd like to have a generalized routine that just
relies on LiveCode and "standard" SQL commands.

Also I already see that "standard" SQL commands may be an issue in that
I would have assumed DESCRIBE <table> to get the details of a table was
part of sqlite, but now I see you need to use other tricks to get a
table description in sqlite.
