Checking the schema spoils the answer

[maugier]

Issuing .schema from the sqlite prompt immediately spoils the answer by showing the trigger logic.

SQLite does not seem to have a portable hash function, but the answer could at least be obfuscated against accidental viewing using hex(); i.e. change the trigger condition to

CASE WHEN hex(new.value) = '4A657....

I just noticed that yesterday, and went down the hash rabbit hole. I hadn't found a built-in alternative, but the hex function is a good idea. thanks!
