  FTS table directly. Despite its name, fts4aux works just as well with FTS3
  tables as it does with FTS4 tables. Fts4aux tables are read-only. The only
  way to modify the contents of an fts4aux table is by modifying the
  contents of the associated FTS table. The fts4aux module is automatically
  included in all [compile fts|builds that include FTS].

<p>
  An fts4aux virtual table is constructed with a single argument - the 

  unqualified name of the FTS table that it will be used to access.






  For example:

<codeblock>
  <i>-- Create an FTS4 table</i>
  CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE ft USING fts4(x, y);

  <i>-- Create an fts4aux table to access the full-text index for table "ft"</i>
  CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE ft_terms USING fts4aux(ft);



</codeblock>

<p>
  For each term present in the FTS table, there are between 2 and N+1 rows
  in the fts4aux table, where N is the number of user-defined columns in
  the associated FTS table. An fts4aux table always has the same four columns, 
  as follows, from left to right:

<p>
  An fts4aux virtual table is constructed with one or two arguments.  When
  used with a single argument, that argument is the unqualified name of the
  FTS table that it will be used to access.  To access a table in a different
  database (for example, to create a TEMP fts4aux table that will access an
  FTS3 table in the MAIN database) use the two-argument form and give the
  name of the target database (ex: "main") in the first argument and the name
  of the FTS3/4 table as the second argument.  (The two-argument form of 
  fts4aux was added for SQLite version 3.7.17 and will throw an error in
  prior releases.)
  For example:

<codeblock>
  <i>-- Create an FTS4 table</i>
  CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE ft USING fts4(x, y);

  <i>-- Create an fts4aux table to access the full-text index for table "ft"</i>
  CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE ft_terms USING fts4aux(ft);

  <i>-- Create a TEMP fts4aux table accessing the "ft" table in "main"</i>
  CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE temp.ft_terms_2 USING fts4aux(main,ft);
