Fixes #555. Add Statement::getColumnTableName() and Column::getTableName() under SQLITE_ENABLE_COLUMN_METADATA, so callers can retrieve the source table without preparing another statement. The API preserves SQLite's null and pointer-lifetime semantics.

Validation: 72 tests pass with CMake/GCC, CMake/Clang ASan+UBSan, and Meson with metadata enabled; 69 pass with metadata disabled. CMake examples and an independent consumer also pass. After rebasing onto #595, the public Meson consumer checks both table-name APIs; system/shared and bundled/shared/static configurations pass, as does bundled/static with metadata disabled. The project-settings lint findings match the baseline; Windows/macOS and Doxygen were not run.

Prepared and validated with OpenAI Codex. The changelog is in a separate final commit, as requested by the contribution workflow.

Hello, thanks for your contribution.

It looks nice and clean, congrats!

I found a slightly related bug in the Meson build, so I created (and now merge) the PR #595 to fix Meson column metadata propagation

Now, it would be nice if you could:

1. Rebase onto the latest master, now that Fix Meson column metadata propagation #595 is merged.
2. Extend the new Meson consumer test (tests/consumer/column_metadata.cpp) to exercise both new APIs:

• Statement::getColumnTableName(0)
• Column::getTableName()
  The existing test already creates a table named test and checks the origin-column APIs. Adding assertions that both new accessors return "test" would be straightforward.
  This would verify that the new APIs work through the public Meson dependency, with metadata enabled, across the new CI configurations.

[ac1982]

Rebased onto d43b758, including #595, and extended the public Meson consumer test to check that both new accessors return "test".

The library, examples, unit tests and consumer pass locally with system SQLite/shared, bundled SQLite/shared, bundled SQLite/static, and bundled SQLite/static with metadata disabled. The system SQLite lane used fallback GTest because system GTest is unavailable here. Changelog remains the final separate commit.

Thanks a lot, that's a nice one I had intended to implement! (but found other problems in the way, that I fixed instead)
Cheers!

Is this feature will be integrate to 3.5.0 (in C++ 11 compatibility?)

[SRombauts]

Hey @Feneck91, why not, if this is something that you would like I can see how much work it is!

[SRombauts]

@Feneck91 I've opened #599 to backport both table-name accessors to the C++11-compatible sqlitecpp-3.4.x maintenance branch for the planned 3.5.0 release. The PR also includes the small Meson metadata fix needed for consumers. CI is running; feedback is welcome.
