Alex,

	Thank you for responding to my message, and thank you for your hard
work on both btrieve and sqlite!  At first glance, SQLite seemed perfect  
for
me, since I use SQL in my programming on a daily basis.  I compiled it  
with DJGPP
and the library seemed to work okay (despite my inability to get the DIFF  
patch to work).

	The only difficulty I have is that I am very much used to programming with
DAO or ADO.NET in VB or C# respectively, and the documentation was hard  
for me to grasp.  There
was also a lack of very simple examples that my tiny brain can  
comprehend.  The SQLite
library and the shell program that came with it seemed very comprehensive  
and well-done,
but I really don't need anything beyond a few simple queries, and I was  
unable to get
even a simple SELECT query to work.

	I really would like to use SQLite, however.  Could you provide me with  
some
(very) simple examples to give me a push in the right direction, perhaps?   
For instance,
just a simple program to create a table, put a few rows in it, and then  
query it.

Thanks very much for your help so far,

Matt
