Hi, I find I have to agree with the opinion that says keep the ODBC driver should be external to the SQLite source. Why? Well, how many other database engines, client/server or otherwise, come with an ODBC driver embedded with the engine? The answer of course is none. Plenty of vendors supply

Hi, I've download the version at http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/ and it works just fine. I was only making a suggestion that such a cool database should come bundled with an ODBC driver (meaning it's part of the development). SQLite is very cool but it does not make any sense if it

Well put, Darren. Raymond, I would say that if you need ODBC then you need to use a different database (server) all together. SQLite fills the embedded database niche perfectly but it is not a replacement for MS-SQL, MySQl, PostgreSQl, Oracle or other database *servers*. If you need a RDBMS

Hello, I'm testing Jim Lyon's sqaux library and I have a question regarding cursor validity. The call _sqaux_rowset_open() copies the results to a table_rowset structure. The question I have is the following: even though a table_rowset lives after the database has been closed, does this
