Is there a way disable lax quoting rules in sqlite?
This is hardcoded in the SQLite parser and cannot be changed from the outside.
I also asked in the SQLite channel and someone there was kind enough to look through the source code and create a patch, and even started a thread on the mailing list describing the patch:

It's not an answer that works for the official builds, but it may be someday. For the moment, I'm just going to recompile it myself with this patch.
