That's sound wounderfull :=) Would it also interface with DB_files and MLDBM?
i've finally put the DBD::SQlite working. i've created a few tables, a unique index but i got one concern
how can i limit the data to fit in a standard SQl type:like info char(32) i've run a small test and i don't get a data limit. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;

use DBI;
use DBD::SQLite;

my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:SQLite:dbname=foo", "", "", {AutoCommit =>
+ 1, RaiseError => 1});

$dbh->do("CREATE TABLE info (f1 char(3) primary KEY, f2 char(3), f3 ch
+ar(3))");
$dbh->do('create unique index info_idx on info (f1)');

my $sth = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO info VALUES (?, ?, ?)");

$sth->execute("Fred", "Bloggs", "fred\@bloggs.com");             

$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM info");
$sth->execute();
while (my @row = $sth->fetchrow_array ) {
    print "@row\n";
}

$dbh->disconnect;

this get Fred", "Bloggs", "fred\@bloggs.com". So i must assume that DBD::SQLite don't test for type size?
sure i can count the data size each time i insert them into the database but would prefer that SQLite ensures
that i don't forget about it... Any hint if i can get a free lunch here?

Thanks for all the help here and thanks in advance for all the forthcomming one.
