Subject: [ANN] amalgalite 0.6.0 Released

amalgalite version 0.6.0 has been released.

  gem install amalgalite

http://copiousfreetime.rubyforge.org/amalgalite/

Amalgalite embeds the SQLite database engine in a ruby extension.  There is no
need to install SQLite separately.  

Look in the examples/ directory to see

* general usage
* blob io
* schema information
* custom functions
* custom aggregates
* requiring ruby code from a database

Also Scroll through Amalgalite::Database for a quick example, and a general
overview of the API.

I also wrote up a blog post on how to write SQL functions (both scalar and
aggregate).
