I've just missed that point. Sorry. I've done a 141 pages /407 Kb PDF file from the SQLite web site, in order to merge the most important informations from it. I wonder if this PDF could be of some interests for others SQLite new users... --- I've also found the mailing list archives url in order to investigate about cursors (I'm a SQL newbie too). - I've seen forward cursors can be emulated by existing SQLite commands, so that a very good point. - But what about backward cursors ? (I can't use huge buffers because of tables sizes). Reading the sqlite odbc driver sources, it appears (to my weak knowledge) that this driver has a "SQL_CURSOR_FORWARD_ONLY" capability. (There is some cases backward cursors are useful for end-user needs). Do you have any idea/trick/workaround to solve this ? Thanks for your help. Anyway, SQLite appears to be a very fine piece of software. The design is original and the code is really clear and heavily commented. I'm definitly not a C expert but I feel I may learn a lot reading the SQLite sources.
