For what it is worth, while I had done a few simple things in MySQL prior to using SQLite, I think it would be nice if there were a couple of different "tracks" of tutorials. Maybe they could be one for the "Novice", one for an "Experienced" user, and then one for those that are doing actual C

I think one of the most lacking aspects of the documentation are examples. Perhaps this is better addressed in the proposed tutorial, but not all the "SQL Syntax" pages make it clear how to use the statement, especially the more complex ones like SELECT, and expressions. The datetime use is
