RE: [PHP-DEV] SQLite API deficiency

I've been bitten by this too, but didn't get time to delve into it. Can the compile/step definitely not handle multiple queries? That's a shame :/ I'm currently in DB API mode (working on PDO), so I'll refresh my memory and do some sqlite stuff over the next few days; if there is no way to get the compile/step executing multiple queries, then we will need a new function as you suggest. --Wez. > -----Original Message----- > From: Stanislav Malyshev [mailto:stas@zend.com] > Sent: 13 May 2004 14:26 > To: PHP Development > Subject: [PHP-DEV] SQLite API deficiency > > I have discovered that SQLite function sqlite_query runs sqlite_exec > function if it's return value is used and > sqlite_compile/sqlite_step combo > if return value is used.
