Hi Christophe,

as_ptr() is a bad idea as there is no guarantee that Rust string is
null-terminated. It should be safer to use with_c_str like:
filename.with_c_str(|c_str| unsafe {
sqlite3_open(c_str, ppDb)
})

I believe it actually should be
extern { fn sqlite3_errmsg(pDB: *mut()) -> *c_char; }
And for creating an owned string from it you can use
std::str::raw::from_c_str
