in reply to SQLite Documentation

There is a man page, which is what you find when you perldoc DBD::SQLite or look it up on CPAN. It mostly says that it conforms to the DBD spec, so things you see in the DBI docs should work. For details on syntax to create tables, look at the SQLite docs.

In your sample code, you never actually execute the statement handle.

    Wow, do I feel stupid. I completely missed that :) The following replicates his problem (along with the error message):

    my $sql = "SELECT * FROM foo";
my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql) || die "Couldn't prepare $sql: $DBI::err
+str";
while ( my @row = $sth->fetchrow_array ) {
   print "@row\n";
}

    This appears to be a bug in the error reporting.

      Well, don't feel stupid, Ovid.
      After further examination and the hints of a few whispered messages (silent11) I realized that the "while" construct doesn't actually execute the prepared statement, only receives the output and continues to as long as it is produced.

      Adding an $sth->execute() directly before the loop solved the problem.

      I can't find an example in my code, but I feel fairly certain that I always just went straight to the "while" construct without an "execute()" with DBD::MySQL, but then again, I could be wrong.

      I usually am. ;)
