Issuing PRAGMA statement in AIR app

When I use the flash.data routines to issue a SQLite "PRAGMA encoding" stateme开发者_如何学JAVAnt, I get an error suggesting that this isn't supported:

'Error #3115: SQL Error.', details:'PRAGMA is not allowed in SQL.', operation:'execute', detailID:'2005

Is there a workaround?

In a word no. See for supported and unsupported features.

However on that page however you will see... System table access is not available The system tables including sqlite_master and other tables with the "sqlite_" prefix are not available in SQL statements. The runtime includes a schema API that provides an object-oriented way to access schema data. For more information see the SQLConnection.loadSchema() method.

For a more detailed help in using loadSchema have a look at,
