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

Hmm, not sure how to answer that question. Hopefully the other answers 
make my meaning clearer.

I mean viewing the ui via a text terminal 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_terminal). I don't use Windows, 
but yes I think the Command Prompt icon takes you to a text terminal.

 From your question it seems very unlikely that this would be a 
requirement for you, so I would go via the gui or web routes.

Never used it, but yes I believe so.

Sorry to be terse, but:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_framework
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUI_toolkit

Hard to say. You will need to learn more different pieces with a web 
framework (ruby + html + css + js + setting up a web server), but some 
of the frameworks hold your hand quite tightly through that and there 
are lots of resources online to help learning from scratch. GUI toolkits 
are in my (limited) experience slightly less hand-holdy, but then you 
only need to know Ruby + the toolkit. As I understand it, Shoes is 
specifically designed for people with less background in this area, so 
may be a fruitful line of enquiry.
