Hello, A main remark to SQLite developers : - Does it exist a Help file .chm for SQLite ? I am quite new user with Database and SQLite and find very hard to get information and documentation. My opinion is that it is totaly NOT intuitive on the web to find information. For comparison I am quite new on Autohotkey software (autohokey.com) and I have no problem to find information and answer on problem (most of the time I find the answer without posting a question). -> Did I miss something on SQLite web ? or does other users think like -> me that some improvment should be done ? MaxMax14 ====================================================== Bonjour, Maxime, I'm *not* an sqlite developer, but maybe I can provide a portion of an answer. -- CHM -- There's no .chm file for a couple of reasons. Mainly, .chm is a Microsoft application help format for Windows, and Windows is just one of the many operating systems on which sqlite is run. Secondly, sqlite is not really an application (not like, say, Microsoft Access) -- it is instead an embeddable SQL engine intended for programmers. That being said, there *is* also provided a command line tool called "sqlite3" intended mainly for testing, but which is useful in it's own right. If you run it, it will let you know that a consise help screen is available using the ".help" command. The full source code (very well commented) is available for both the sqlite engine and the command line utility. There is not to say that other folks have not written end-user applications using Sqlite, of course, and there are a number of applications that are GUI database administration tools that may or may not have good online help included -- you'd want to approach those developers in that regard. -- Your current problem -- I take it you likely have something in particular you would like to know about sqlite? Since you haven't found it on the website, you may want to post your particular problem here. -- Documentation in general -- On the one hand, each person would organize a website differently, and all will never be pleased. But on the other hand, sometimes someone unacquainted with the product can provide some of the most useful feedback, so you may want to post some specific suggestions you may have. I find that it's very helpful to visit the wiki -- and of course you may submit wiki improvements quite directly. Hope this may help in some way, Donald _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list [email protected] http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
