The built-in SQLite support doesn't (yet) support remote DB access.
So I'm converting this report to a feature request. Patches welcome.
Thanks.

In that case, it would be better to show a warning message that
it's not supported instead of failing with errors that gives no
hint to the user.
Also, Emacs may also show the related bug number regarding such
issues so that interested users can subscribe to know updates.
thanks,
Mohammed Sadiq

I disagree that we should show a warning in such cases. The user
asked Emacs to do something, and Emacs couldn't; the appropriate
response is to signal an error, not to show a warning. Showing a
warning would mean we don't abort whatever Lisp program that was
trying to do something we cannot do.
I agree that a more targeted error message would be beneficial;
patches for that are welcome as well.

We don't have any infrastructure in Emacs for doing stuff like that.
It would be a useful feature, I think (although not easy to
implement), but please submit a separate feature request for it.

An error message was what I meant.

I was suggesting to show an error message like:
"sqlite-xxx is not supported over tramp, see bug#xxx"

I've now added a more meaningful error message to sqlite-mode.el.

Sorry, no: I don't think it's right for us to have references to bug
reports in our sources, let alone in error messages. It's a long-term
maintenance problem, especially when we change the issue tracker.
