Hi everyone,

I had the opportunity of using sqlite-mode recently, which is really
handy for quickly inspecting the content of a database. However I
noticed two issues when using it from Windows:

- The sql query built by sqlite-mode-delete is syntactically correct,
  but misinterpreted by sqlite, and eventually do nothing. The query is
  of the form "REMOVE FROM table_name WHERE rowid = ? and
  'column_name_1' = ? and 'column_name_2' = ? and ..."  From [1], if I
  understand correctly, the quoted column name in the WHERE clause are
  interpreted as strings from sqlite, and as a result not a single row
  is ever matched and deleted.

- The connection to the sqlite database (file) is never closed, even
  when the buffer is killed. As sqlite--db is a local variable,
  it's not even possible to close the connection by hand once the
  buffer is killed. That means that once a database file is opened
  with sqlite-mode-open-file, the file cannot be deleted unless
  emacs is closed (on Windows).

Attached is the modifications that makes it work for me. I didn't have
the opportunity to test it under linux or another environment.

I did not want to touch the other parts that were already working, but
note that sqlite support a collection of pragma statements [2] that can
be used to inspect the schema of the database in a more structured why
than parsing the content of the sqlite_master table.

I hope it helps, and thanks for all the great work!
