erlang-sqlite3 sqlite3:table_info error - sqlite

Question

I tried to extract table info from sqlite database using sqlite3:table_info/2 function and got an error message.
{ok,Pid} = sqlite3:open(db3).
Sql = <<"CREATE TABLE test (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
ts TEXT default (datetime('now')),
key TEXT,
val TEXT
);">>.
sqlite3:sql_exec(db3,Sql).
Check table list:
sqlite3:list_tables(db3).
[test]
Try to get table info:
sqlite3:table_info(db3,test).
And now error message:
`=ERROR REPORT==== 1-Mar-2015::19:37:46 ===

Any ideas?

I've fixed the problem with INTEGER PRIMARY KEY. The default is harder to support, but I've added a fallback so it doesn't crash, at least. As #CL mentions, this parsing is unreliable anyway (since SQLite unfortunately doesn't expose any way to use its own parser).
