You can also use the pragmas.

http://sqlite.org/pragma.html

You can use database_list to get the list of attached databases.
table_info is useful for getting the information about each table and
provides sufficient information to recreate the table.  (Before alter
table add column existed you had to use it to create a new table and
transfer the columns+values over from the old one).
