SQLite will sometimes return column names in cursor.description in the
form `table_alias."column_name"` or simply `"column_name"` instead of just
`column_name`. This can happen when returning columns from subqueries,
views or unions.
This means that `RawQuerySet` can't match up the columns when trying to
create model instances, and raises `InvalidQuery: Raw query must include
the primary key`.
This change introduces a `column_name_converter()` to the backend
introspection code to mirror `table_name_converter()` and implements the
fix on the SQLite backend.

`test_subquery_in_raw_sql` doesn't fail on my system. Is this behavior
specific to some version of SQLite?

This bug report suggests it might be platform/version specific:
http://bugs.python.org/issue19167
I'm on OSX 10.9, Python 2.7.5, and if I run sqlite3 from a command line it
reports version 3.7.13.

I'm on Linux, that may explain why I cannot reproduce the issue.

Comment (by vajrasky):
Ladies and gentlemen, this has nothing to do with OS. Mine, sqlite 3.7 on
Fedora Core 18 is afflicted.
This is a bug from Sqlite. Sqlite 3.7 is afflicted. Solution: upgrade to
sqlite 3.8.

I guess it is not our place to fix this bug. So, I am inclined to make
this ticket as invalid. But I let OP or core developers to do that.

Thanks for the research! And yes, I have the 3.7.17 version of the debian
mozilla team which is posterior to the fixing patch. However plain Debian
Wheezy (currently stable) package seems to be affected. I'm still
undecided about the value of working around this bug in Django.

Yes, thanks for unearthing that!
I personally would like to see it fixed in Django, because a feature I'm
hoping to get merged (#21604) relies on getting this data from
`cursor.description`. As well as Debian, 3.7 is the system installed
version on the current versions of Ubuntu and OS X - I think it's
widespread enough to warrant including the workaround.

Comment:
Given that the patch isn't too invasive, yes, we could include it... It
needs a comment stating which versions of SQLite are affected, so we can
eventually remove the workaround when we consider them sufficiently
outdated.

OK, I've added the version affected and a link to the bugfix commit in the
comments. Also added a TODO to remove the change at some point in the
future. Let me know if it needs anything else.

The query added in this test doesn't work on Oracle (`DatabaseError:
ORA-00920: invalid relational operator`). Should we try to make it work
there or just skip it?
