 I have an input table which includes the column 'unique', and it failed to
 import, with the error:


 {{{
 DBMI-SQLite driver error:
 Error in sqlite3_prepare():
 near "varchar": syntax error
 }}}

 This is due to "unique" being a reserved keyword in SQLite. This can be
 fixed by quoting column names prior to passing them to SQLite, see this
 page for details:
