Hmmm... Since I don't really need 450+ pages of info, but just something
akin to a crib sheet of the SQL that sqlite supports (which I'd guess
would end up at about 20 pages if it weren't so difficultly-embedded in
html files), the option of a fifty dollar book isn't really very useful
to me. [BTW: no knock on Mike or on the worth of the book. But: I'm not
a beginner [either with Perl, SQL or SQLite] nor do I care hardly at all
about SQLite's internals... I just need to know the SQL SQLite
implements, and so virtually all of Mike's book is really not going to be
of any interest or use to me... I'm just the wrong audience for it].
I guess I'll work harder at getting something readable out of the
'lang.html' pages... It looks like that if I cobble up a little script
to take the pages linked out of lang.html and just delete the <table> and
<h1> blocks at the start of each page it'll get me just the reference
info, and after that a pass through HTMLDOC and I suspect I'll have
something more in line of what I was hoping for... I'll report back on
how it goes in case anyone cares... tnx!
Bernie,
If you download the source you can build local copies of the HTML files
that document SQLite. They are slightly different than those on the
website, all the related documentation pages are linked into one file.
Simply do a:
./configure --with-tcl=/path/to/your/tcl/
make doc
I then open the file index.html in Firefox. It looks the same as the
website, so click documentation and then SQL Syntax. The current page
has all the SQL syntax documentation on one HTML page. I simply print
the whole thing.
I, too, am a hardcopy guy. I keep the resulting 26 page document "SQL as
Understood By SQLite" on my desk beside my computer.
