<h1 align=center>SQL As Understood By SQLite</h1>
<p>SQLite understands most of the standard SQL
language. But it does <a href="omitted.html">omit some features</a>
while at the same time
adding a few features of its own. This document attempts to
describe precisely what parts of the SQL language SQLite does
and does not support. A list of <a href="lang_keywords.html">SQL keywords</a> is
also provided. The SQL language syntax is described by
<a href="syntaxdiagrams.html">syntax diagrams</a>.
<p>The following syntax documentation topics are available:</p>
