+##  import db_sqlite, math
+##
+##  let theDb = open("mytest.db", nil, nil, nil)
+##
+##  theDb.exec(sql"Drop table if exists myTestTbl")

+##       Id    INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
+##       Name  VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
+##       i     INT(11),
+##       f     DECIMAL(18,10))"""))

+##  theDb.exec(sql"BEGIN")

+##    theDb.exec(sql"INSERT INTO myTestTbl (name,i,f) VALUES (?,?,?)",
+##          "Item#" & $i, i, sqrt(i.float))
+##  theDb.exec(sql"COMMIT")

+##  for x in theDb.fastRows(sql"select * from myTestTbl"):

+##  echo "Inserted item: ", theDb.getValue(sql"SELECT name FROM myTestTbl WHERE id=?", id)
