### Database Configuration Options
140+
141+
#### Double-Quoted String Literals
142+
143+
SQLite has a quirk where double quotes can be used for both identifiers (column/table names) and string literals, depending on context. By default, SQLite tries to interpret double quotes as identifiers first, but falls back to treating them as string literals if no matching identifier is found.
144+
145+
```javascript
146+
// Default behavior (enableDoubleQuotedStringLiterals: false)
147+
const db = new DatabaseSync(":memory:");
148+
db.exec("CREATE TABLE test (name TEXT)");
149+
150+
// This works - "hello" is treated as a string literal since there's no column named hello
151+
db.exec('INSERT INTO test (name) VALUES ("hello")');
152+
153+
// This fails - "name" is treated as a column identifier, not a string
154+
db.exec('SELECT * FROM test WHERE name = "name"'); // Error: no such column: name
155+
```
156+
157+
To avoid confusion and ensure SQL standard compliance, you can enable strict mode:
158+
159+
```javascript
160+
// Strict mode (enableDoubleQuotedStringLiterals: true)
161+
const db = new DatabaseSync(":memory:", {
162+
enableDoubleQuotedStringLiterals: true,
163+
});
164+
165+
// Now double quotes are always treated as string literals
166+
db.exec("CREATE TABLE test (name TEXT)");
167+
db.exec('INSERT INTO test (name) VALUES ("hello")'); // Works
168+
db.exec('SELECT * FROM test WHERE name = "name"'); // Works - finds rows where name='name'
169+
170+
// Use backticks or square brackets for identifiers when needed
171+
db.exec("SELECT `name`, [order] FROM test");
172+
```
173+
174+
**Recommendation**: For new projects, consider enabling `enableDoubleQuotedStringLiterals: true` to ensure consistent behavior and SQL standard compliance. For existing projects, be aware that SQLite's default behavior may interpret your double-quoted strings differently depending on context.
