Thanks for the quick reply...

Please ignore this. I went back and tried this again,
and realized it was my fault -- I misunderstood the
purpose of Server->New Server, and didn't use it
properly.

Fair enough. If it's alright to ask, does the current
version install its libraries to /usr/lib/gambas?

Maybe I understood SQLite's documentation incorrectly.
Postgresql, from what I remember, requires the
postmaster service running in the background,
accepting connections through the socket, and sending
data back and forth that way. SQLite (on the website)
describes its relationship with C as being a library
loaded within the C program that allows you to
interact directly with the data through an SQLish
interface. There's no service that needs to be run in
the background or set up ahead of time. I guess,
because with Gambas, sqlite needs to be set up ahead
of time with g-d-m, I was confused, and mistakenly
thought that something like a client-server
relationship was at work.

Alright, just so I have this straight: From what I
remember, in C, to interact with a postgresql
database, I need to have the server running in the
background accepting connections, whereas with sqlite
I can get straight at the data with the library and
the file location. Does it work the same way in
gambas?

Ok, just to clarify, does that mean that version 2's
components will have these attributes, or that version
2's components will be capable of having them, but
somebody else will need to code them?
