*/
typedef int (*sqlite_callback)(void*,int,char**, char**);

/*
** A function to executes one or more statements of SQL.
**
** If one or more of the SQL statements are queries, then
** the callback function specified by the 3rd parameter is
** invoked once for each row of the query result.  This callback
** should normally return 0.  If the callback returns a non-zero
** value then the query is aborted, all subsequent SQL statements
** are skipped and the sqlite_exec() function returns the SQLITE_ABORT.
**
** The 4th parameter is an arbitrary pointer that is passed
** to the callback function as its first parameter.
**
** The 2nd parameter to the callback function is the number of
** columns in the query result.  The 3rd parameter is an array
** of string holding the values for each column.  The 4th parameter
** is an array of strings holding the names of each column.
**
** The callback function may be NULL, even for queries.  A NULL
** callback is not an error.  It just means that no callback
** will be invoked.
**
** If an error occurs while parsing or evaluating the SQL (but
** not while executing the callback) then an appropriate error
** message is written into memory obtained from malloc() and
** *errmsg is made to point to that message.  If errmsg==NULL,
** then no error message is ever written.  The return value is
** SQLITE_ERROR if an error occurs.  The calling function is
** responsible for freeing the memory that holds the error
** message.
**
** If the query could not be executed because a database file is
** locked or busy, then this function returns SQLITE_BUSY.  (This
** behavior can be modified somewhat using the sqlite_busy_handler()
** and sqlite_busy_timeout() functions below.) If the query could 
** not be executed because a file is missing or has incorrect 
** permissions, this function returns SQLITE_ERROR.

** This routine identifies a callback function that is invoked
** whenever an attempt is made to open a database table that is
** currently locked by another process or thread.  If the busy callback
** is NULL, then sqlite_exec() returns SQLITE_BUSY immediately if
** it finds a locked table.  If the busy callback is not NULL, then
** sqlite_exec() invokes the callback with three arguments.  The
** second argument is the name of the locked table and the third
** argument is the number of times the table has been busy.  If the
** busy callback returns 0, then sqlite_exec() immediately returns
** SQLITE_BUSY.  If the callback returns non-zero, then sqlite_exec()
** tries to open the table again and the cycle repeats.
**
** The default busy callback is NULL.
**
** Sqlite is re-entrant, so the busy handler may start a new query. 
** (It is not clear why anyone would every want to do this, but it
** is allowed, in theory.)  But the busy handler may not close the
** database.  Closing the database from a busy handler will delete 
** data structures out from under the executing query and will 
** probably result in a coredump.

** causes sqlite_exec() to return SQLITE_BUSY.

** Instead of invoking a user-supplied callback for each row of the
** result, this routine remembers each row of the result in memory
** obtained from malloc(), then returns all of the result after the
** query has finished.  After the calling function has finished using
** the result, it should pass the result data pointer to 
** sqlite_free_table() in order to release the memory that was malloc-ed.
** Because of the way the malloc() happens, the calling function must
** not try to call malloc() directly.  Only sqlite_free_table() is able
** to release the memory properly and safely.
**
** The return value of this routine is the same as from sqlite_exec().
