Mike I also was not able to reproduce this behavior with a small sample
program and am puzzled by this behavior in my main application. What puzzled
me is
1. Select has criteria a=?, b=?, c=? (prepare statement) - step through it
2. Get the value of d from database based on the above criteria
3. Update the value of d
4. The value of d has now been but the entire module within the step module
is being re-run.

I have been able to get around this by calling sqlite3_clear_bindings and
sqlite3_reset within the step.
