Some SQLite databases include SQL comments in the schema definition which tell you what each column means:

sql CREATE TABLE User -- A table comment ( uid INTEGER, -- A field comment flags INTEGER -- Another field comment ); The problem with these is that they're not exposed to SQLite in any mechanism other than parsing the CREATE TABLE statement from the sqlite_master table to extract those columns.

I had an idea to build a plugin that could return these. That would be easy with a "get metadata for this column" plugin hook - in the absence of one a plugin could still run that reads the schemas on startup and uses them to populate a metadata database table somewhere.
