Well, the code isn't really relevant to the problem, but here is is :

import sqlite3

conn = sqlite3.connect("/tmp/test.db")
conn.execute("SELECT name, value FROM local_param")

for row in conn:
    print row

And I get :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
sqlite3.OperationalError: no such table: local_param


Which I think should be a ProgrammingError

If I fix the table name I but use a wrong column name I also get an 
OperationalError


import sqlite3

conn = sqlite3.connect("/tmp/test.db")
conn.execute("SELECT name, valueeeeeeee FROM local_parameters")

for row in conn:
    print row

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
sqlite3.OperationalError: no such column: valueeeeeeee

Which should also be a ProgrammingError as I see it and as my 
interpretation of the documention.
