# Mimic the sqlite3 console shell's .dump command

# Every identifier in sql is quoted based on a comment in sqlite
# documentation "SQLite adds new keywords from time to time when it
# takes on new features. So to prevent your code from being broken by
# future enhancements, you should normally quote any identifier that
# is an English language word, even if you do not have to."
def _iterdump(connection):
Returns an iterator to the dump of the database in an SQL text format.
Used to produce an SQL dump of the database. Useful to save an in-memory
database for later restoration. This function should not be called
directly but instead called from the Connection method, iterdump().
