= SQLite3/Ruby Interface

== DESCRIPTION

This module allows Ruby programs to interface with the SQLite3 database engine (http://www.sqlite.org). You must have the SQLite engine installed in order to build this module.

Note that this module is NOT compatible with SQLite 2.x.

== Compilation and Installation

Simply do the following, after installing SQLite3:

ruby setup.rb config ruby setup.rb setup ruby setup.rb install

Alternatively, you can download and install the RubyGem package for SQLite3/Ruby (you must have RubyGems and SQLite3 installed, first):

gem install sqlite3-ruby

If you have sqlite3 installed in a non-standard location, you can specify the location of the include and lib files by doing:

gem install sqlite3-ruby -- --with-sqlite3-include=/opt/local/include
--with-sqlite3-lib=/opt/local/lib

Also, the gem ships with the C source-code pre-built, so (as of version 1.1.1) you no longer need to have SWIG installed. However, if you have SWIG installed and you want to generate the C file yourself, you can specify the --with-swig option.

== Usage
