no one can help someone using sql, we can only watch in dismay and horror ;-)

seriously though - why not?  all the bloody dbs have there own dialect - might
as well commit to either learning to learn them or to not and using dbi - in
either case sqlite fits in.

besides - i think a good hacker could learn the entire sqlite dialect in the
time it takes to install mysql and get authentication and networking running
properly.  especially once we throw user 'www' into the mix ;-)
