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.
