[Qgis-user] QGIS 2.16 DB Manager and spatialite view

[Carlo A. Bertelli (Charta s.r.l.)]

Hello Enrico,
QGIS implements an older arrangement from the first version of Spatialite.
The views share metadata with tables in geometry_columns.
I think that QGIS should use the proper metadata table as well. It's time
to do it as Spatialite is at version 4 and the views_geometry_columns comes
from version 2.4 or so. Probably it could handle both metadata for
compatibility, after enforcing the wrong arrangement for years.
Anyhow, to solve your problem, just add an entry in geometry_columns.
