I have sent Ralf a long reply directly. No criticism was intended, and eventually I expect to be as impressed by DiSQLite as I am by SQLiteSpy. It's just that I can't make it work yet and don't have the time for the steep learning curve.

As the author of DISQLite3: The library now contains 17 example projects for using SQLite with Delphi, even including full text search (FTS1 and FTS2). I designed them to serve two purposes for both beginners and advanced users: * Explain basic and advanced usage of DISQLite3. * Show the power of SQLite with semi real world applications. I agree that the examples use two sets of 3rd party components. I felt they are necessary to overcome some of Delphi's limitations, most notably the missing Unicode controls. Both packages (TNT Unicode Controls and VirtualTrees) are freeware, highly recognized for their outstanding quality and widely distributed. Thanks for letting me know that some aspect of DISQLite3 are apparently still missing from the demos. Regarding record structures, TStringList and string arrays: I did not cover these because of their potentially huge memory requirements. Instead, I demonstrated an intelligent buffering mechanism. However, given the need for it, I will be glad cover these in the demos as well. What exactly do you want to achieve, and what kind of example project are you looking for? >The documentation is very comprehensive but starts half-way through the >film, as far as I'm concerned. Did you read the chapter labeled "Overview"? Again, if you let me know what you are looking for I will be glad to add the missing information.
