This user ran into an error using SQLite with CPA b/c it was not clear what the metadata columns are named. From ExportToSpreadsheet, he inferred that the prefix was"Metadata_" but for SQLite, it is currently"Image_Metadata_". These are fields that ExportToDB does not fill in automatically, so the user has no way of knowing this.
A standard nomenclature needs to derived for this. AFAIK, currently:
LoadData: Requires"Metadata_" for such cols
ExportToSpreadsheet:"Metadata_" prefixed
ExportToDB:"Image_Metadata_" prefixed

Kate also recalls"Image_" being prepended again to features beginning with"Image_"
