Well, there is an sqlite3 executable that one can run to do CLI things to a database. OS X comes with that and I was also able to download the source of that program, and the SQLite C amalgamation, and rebuild it myself. It is certainly possible, with that program, to execute a sequence of semi-colon separated statements. It *doesn't* work with PHP's PDO interface to sqlite, as I found in a test program I put together; I haven't properly tested that with the sqlite3 interface. I've tried asking on the sqlite general mailing list and (to me at least), the answers are at best unclear. There is a function, part of the C interface to sqlite, that talks about a sequence of statements, but I guess ultimately it depends on how the writer of the PHP sqlite3 interface implemented it. -- Cheers -- Tim -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
