How can I list all the triggers of a database in sqlite?

I can not drop a trigger, but when I try to create a new one with same name — it alerts me that trigger exists. So, I want to list all the triggers, to figure out what's wrong.

You can get all of the data relating to triggers using the sqlite_master table (this includes the ddl code to create them). If you don't want all of the data just leave off some of the columns in your query.

For all data:

select * from sqlite_master where type = 'trigger';

For just a list of names:

select name from sqlite_master where type = 'trigger';
