sqlite is not ruby, so you should look for a sqlite group ;)

Perhaps your Google-fu needs some strengthening.  What search string
did you use?  Googling "ruby default method (parameters OR arguments)"
(sans quotes) ought to get you some good hits.

But to save you all that, there are a couple ways.  The easy way, when
it's just a few optional args, is to use = and a value.  (Note that
all optional args have to be at the end, and you can't skip some and
supply later ones.)  In your case it would be something like:

     def say_hello(name = "Qui-Gon Jinn")

There is a more complicated way, that will soak up an unlimited number
of additional args, but that's for another time.  :-)

Both are excellent.  It depends whether you're trying to learn
programming (Pine), the Ruby language (Pine), or the Ruby on Rails web
app framework (Hartl).  If you're already familiar with programming in
other languages, you MIGHT do OK starting with Hartl and then
referring to sections in Pine (or any other Ruby resources) as needed.
