More of a half is about SQL generalities, an a quarter a copy-paste of the on-line manual without more comment. At the end, the horrific index i've ever seen.
For the record, Apress had the index generated by a third party. I've used the index myself recently, and frankly it worked for me -- I found what I was looking for. The SQL and C API references to which you refer --- taken from the on-line documentation --- start on page 365. Furthermore, the inclusion of this material was and has been considered useful by everyone who reviewed the book, as it serves as an authoritative and succinct reference. Many technical books include a reference similar to this as a convenience to the reader. I devoted 100 pages on the subject of SQL. I tried to systematically and progressively describe SQL so that someone completely unfamiliar could read the chapter in order, and by the end of the chapter understand topics such as 3NF, left outer joins, and the intricacies of NULL. For an average programmer who needs to use SQLite, I hope this book can save a lot of time whether you are a unfamiliar to or experienced with SQL or the SQLite API. I wrote this book purely because I like SQLite, wanted to help get the word out, and someone presented me with the opportunity to write a book. Once I decided to write it, I went to great lengths to write a book that would be genuinely useful. Apress has put a lot of time and effort into making this a useful book as well. As I said in the book, and I think on this list, I am always open to suggestions and feedback. If you really feel the book has failed you in some way, or missed an important topic, I would like to know about it so I can try to make it better should it ever make it to a second edition. While I have many other things going on in life just like everybody else, it is important to me that the book serves its purpose, and I am more than happy to take whatever efforts required to do so. -- Mike On 3/8/07, A.J.Millan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
