Having done a similar research in the past I would certainly suggest to not use any library and use directly the sqlite procs. All you need is a file to declare the functions in Delphi and then just use the functions directly. Personally, I have just created some simple wrapper functions in Delphi (very simple - 3 lines each) to make it a bit easier to call the SQLIte functions. Using a wrapper is usually bug-prone (unfortunately most of them have bugs) and it usually wraps around the TDataset which is not a good idea (unless you are using bound controls). Also, if you use a wrapper you will need to learn 2 APIs: SQLite's and the LIB's, which is again a bad idea. Hope this is of some help, Costas P.S. I am not the 'do-it-yourself' kind but in this case, it is really better to use sqlite directly!
