"ON clause references tables to its right"
(1) By anonymous on 2021-02-03 13:39:43 [link]
I have a long SQL statement 1,561 lines long (several SQL statements delimited by ;. It executes fine in the CLI but not within a programmatic call to sqlite3_exec using C#: it gives the error message in the title. There is NO 'on' clause. Any hints as regards the cause of the error would be a great help. My guess is that this is to do with UTF encoding ... but it is just a guess. I can't post the script as it would be meaningless without the database and I've no way of sharing the database.

Found the error message in sqlite.c lines [145646-145650]
```
/* ON clause terms may not be used with an index
** on left table of a LEFT JOIN. Ticket #3015 */
if( (prereqAll>>1)>=x ){
sqlite3ErrorMsg(pParse, "ON clause references tables to its right");
return;
```

Is there a limit to the length of the SQL statement that can be used with sqlite3_exec?

Yes. <https://SQLite.org/limits.html>
