Thanks Dan and Igor for clarifying the 5th param. I'm guessing it's safe to leave it at 0 if I just use one SQL statement then.
Funny you should mention the capital at the start to make "Hexion". I thought of that just after I posted. But it doesn't solve the problem unfortunately. Zero results are still returned. Oh one other quick question: Any way to get the number of rows/columns after preperation without using ssomething like sqlite3_get_table?
