sqliteHow do I troubleshoot a near syntax error when using SQLite?

To troubleshoot a near syntax error when using SQLite, the following steps should be taken:

Carefully review the SQL query for any syntax errors, such as incorrect quotation marks, missing commas, or incorrect column names.
If the syntax appears correct, try running the query in an SQLite shell or web-based SQLite editor. This will allow you to run the query and see the exact error message, which can help pinpoint the issue.
If the query is still not running, check to make sure the database you are using is properly connected and that the table and column names are correct.
If the query still isn't running, try breaking it down into smaller pieces and running them separately. This will help you identify the exact part of the query that is causing the syntax error.
If the syntax error is still not resolved, try using the SQLite documentation to review the syntax of the query and make sure it is correct.
If the syntax error still persists, try searching online for similar errors and solutions.
If the error persists, reach out to the SQLite community for help.
