[elephant-devel] SQLite 3 support - fixed

[Robert L. Read]

Dear Dan,
    Thanks!  This is excellent!  If we can get this to work, it will be
significant step forward in the 
overall value of the Elephant package.
    I will make this my highest priority upon returning from the
Thanksgiving holiday next week.
In fact, I had meant to release SQL-BACK-END as Elephant 0.3 by now;
this give me further
incentive to do that, although I will evaluate your patch first, as it
would be very nice to 
release Postgres and Sql-Lite support at the same time.
