Description

As described in docs, sqlite_schema can have alternatives names such as:

  1. sqlite_master
  2. sqlite_temp_schema
  3. sqlite_temp_master

"Alternatives (2) and (3) only work for the TEMP database associated with each database connection, but alternative (1) works anywhere."

https://sqlite.org/schematab.html

EDIT: I'll let this open until we support temp databases and don't lose track of these alternative names as well

Contributor guide

Research direction
