SQLite: No Such Column
SQLite raises 'no such column' when a query references a column that does not exist in the specified table. Unlike PostgreSQL, SQLite is case-insensitive for column names.
Example Query
SELECT user_name FROM users; -- Fails if the column is named 'username' (no underscore)
Common Causes
- 1Typo in the column name
- 2Column added in a later migration that has not been applied
- 3Wrong table being queried
How to Fix It
Use PRAGMA table_info(table_name) to list all columns. Check migration files to ensure the column exists. Use SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 1 to inspect the actual schema.
