Okay we answered at the same time. I have no problem concerning the retrieving of data, I use sqlite3_column() to get the data I need. The callback I'm talking about is the *profiling* callback, not the one you're thinking about (you're talking about the callback you pass when using sqlite3_exec()).
The problem is that the *profiling* function (that you register with sqlite3_profile() ) gets called only when you step over to the end, to retrieve all the records you wanted. Since, in my case, I'm only interested in the first record, I don't step() until the end, so the profiling function is never called. Well, except when I accidentally try to retrieve a non-existent id, which I have in my test cases. This time, the single step() I use directly returns "SQLITE_DONE" and the profiling function is called. Anyway, what's disturbing is that I was expecting the function to be called event if I don't step() until the end. Typically when I perform the finalize() on my query. >From what I see in the code, the profiling function is called in step(), which I think is strange.
