Re: sqlite library

[Martin Spernau <martin@...>]

I think there are actually two destinct APIs for SQLite. The traditional 
callback based one, and a newer callback-less one, which was used by the 
previous Lua 5 binding for SQLite.

I would vote to try and supply both in Lua, so the Lua user can decide 
which to use depending on circumstances (ease of use or extra power)

Another way could be to go with the callbvackbased API and write a 
'simpified' Lua interface in Lua...

Let me say that I like this new binding by Tiago very much, as it also 
makes the 'in-memory' databas feature availeable.

Thanks, Martin
