SQLite是遵循一套独特的称为语法的规则和准则。本教程提供了一个快速入门SQLite所有基本的SQLite语法。

大小写敏感性

重要的一点要注意的是，SQLite是不区分大小写的，但也有一些命令，这些命令是大小写敏感的像GLOB，glob 在SQLite的语句有不同的含义。 

注释

SQLite的注释是额外注意，可以添加SQLite代码，以增加其可读性，他们可以出现在任何空白可以发生，包括里面的表达式和其他SQL语句的中间，但他们不能嵌套。

SQL注释开始连续两个“ – ”字符（ASCII0X2D）和扩展，包括下一个换行符（0X0A ASCII），直到输入的结尾，以先到者为准。

还可以使用C风格的注释，“/ *”开始，扩展到包括未来的“*/”字符对，直到输入的结尾，以先到者为准。 C风格的注释可以跨越多行。
