#
#  sqlite_using_jdbc - An example of using straight JDBC mechanisms to
#                      interact with a SQLite database.
#                      Creates a 'planet' table in a SQLite database
#                      named 'solarsys.db', populates it with some data and 
#                      then executes a query to retrieve data from that table.
#
#  Works with Jython 2.5, must have the zentus sqlitejdbc.jar in your
#  CLASSPATH at execution time.
#  Known to work with sqlitejdbc-v056.jar
