Hi,

just to clarify: it is sqlite, not the sqlite driver which does not  
support newlines in SQL statements. Some other SQL engines like MySQL  
do support newlines, so this appears to be a design decision (I don't  
know what the standard says). To verify, use these SQL scripts:

-----
select
version()
-----

and

-----
select
sqlite_version()
-----

write the scripts to a file using Unix line endings, and pipe them  
into mysql and sqlite, respectively. The former succeeds, whereas the  
latter complains about incomplete SQL. I think it is easier to avoid  
newlines on the input side rather than trying to "fix" sqlite's  
behaviour in the driver.

regards,
Markus
