+<p>
+ In SQLite, a database object (a table, index, trigger or view) is identified
+ by the name of the object and the name of the database that it resides in.
+ Database objects may reside in the main database, the temp database, or in
+ an <a href="lang_attach.html">attached database</a>.
+
+<p>
+ The syntax of the <a href="lang_droptable.html">DROP TABLE</a>, <a href="lang_dropindex.html">DROP INDEX</a>, <a href="lang_dropview.html">DROP VIEW</a>, <a href="lang_droptrigger.html">DROP TRIGGER</a>,
+ <a href="lang_reindex.html">REINDEX</a>, <a href="lang_altertable.html">ALTER TABLE</a> and many other commands all permit the user to
+ specify a database object either by its name alone, or by a combination of
+ its name and the name of its database. If no database is specified as part
+ of the object reference, then SQLite searches the main, temp and all attached
+ databases for an object with a matching name. The temp database is searched
+ first, followed by the main database, followed all attached databases in the
+ order that they were attached. The reference resolves to the first match
+ found. For example:
+
+<pre>
+ /* Add a table named 't1' to the temp, main and an attached database */
+ ATTACH 'file.db' AS aux;
+ CREATE TABLE t1(x, y);
+ CREATE TEMP TABLE t1(x, y);
+ CREATE TABLE aux.t1(x, y);
+
+ DROP TABLE t1; /* Drop table in temp database */
+ DROP TABLE t1; /* Drop table in main database */
+ DROP TABLE t1; /* Drop table in aux database */
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+ If a schema name is specified as part of an object reference, it must be
+ either "main", or "temp" or the schema-name of an attached database.
+ Like other SQL identifiers, schema names are case-insensitive.
+ If a schema name is specified, then only that one schema is searched for
+ the named object.
+
+<p>
+ Most object references may only resolve to a specific type of object (for
+ example a reference that is part of a DROP TABLE statement may only resolve
+ to a table object, not an index, trigger or view). However in some contexts
+ (e.g. <a href="lang_reindex.html">REINDEX</a>) an object reference may be resolve to more than one type
+ of object. When searching database schemas for a named object, objects of
+ types that cannot be used in the context of the reference are always
+ ignored.
