I never used this package and I don't think I'll have the need to in any near future. Are you able to indetify what's broken in the current package? Did you only try the latest release or is the development version also broken? Would be nice if it was fixed. > As a solution I made my own .oct file that queries SQLite & returns a cell > array of the results; kudos to SQLite's "amalgamation" file and Octave's > "mkoctfile." > > - is this the right forum to ask the next 2 questions? > - is anyone interested in connecting SQLite to octave? > - what's my next reasonable step (if any): make a package, post code > somewhere (here?), or... ? The next step would be include your code in the database package.

I think that cloning matlab API would be preferable. Being compatible and providing a drop-in replacement for matlab is one of the advantages of octave. Of course, this may or may not be feasible. However, if you are not using the same API, would be better to at least not use the same function names as matlab so as to prevent problems in the future (someone will try to to implement the matlab API and there will be conflicts).
