DESC alias for DESCRIBE?

[stefanos82]

@aaemnnosttv Lines 3183 to 3186 say DESC is an alias for DESCRIBE.

Does not this conflict with DESC for sorting?

As far as I know, both SQLite and MySQL / MariaDB support EXPLAIN which for MySQL / MariaDB is a synonym for DESCRIBE.

Is there a particular reason we use this alias?

[aaemnnosttv]

Hmm, it might? I'm not sure.

This code is from the original plugin.

Can you produce a bug using it?

[stefanos82]

No, not really but I was wondering why at random times with WAL enabled it kind of hangs for 2-3 seconds and then behaves as if nothing happened.

That was the reason behind my investigation and discovered that peculiar syntax.

Closing for now. Feel free to reopen if this is indeed a problem 👍
