Jay, Thanks for the reply. I'll have to reconsider my book purchase. By the way, I love the quote at the bottom of your email. As a professional scientist I've found that when I try to explain what I do most people's eyes tend to glaze over, etc. My step-son is a computer chip designer. When he starts talking about what he does MY eyes tend to glaze over, etc. Bob Keeland

Doesn't cover some of the newer features, including many of the _v2() interfaces. Covers SQL and basic database theory. Although this spends a little time on non-C APIs, VB is not one of the languages that is covered. Known for having a sub-standard index. > Using SQLite by Jay A. Kreibich Very new. Also covers SQL, as well as database design theory, but I must admit that it only covers the C APIs. Very large reference section. As you might guess, this is a personal favorite. > The SQL Guide to SQLite by Rick F. van der Lans This only covers the SQL language used by SQLite, it does not cover the library or APIs. I have not had a chance to look at this yet, but my other van der Lans books are quite good, and I expect this to be a very good book as well. -j -- Jay A.
