Hi,

to actually work with SQLite, you do not need anything more than rev. If you want a tool to analyse and put stuf into the database, there are a lot of options, one of them being a plugin for firefox. SQLite is different from DBs like mySQL or postgre, in that you do not need to install a db server on the machine.

Just use revOpenDataBase. If you point to a file that does not exist, it will created for you by the embedded SQLite engine.

Hth,

Malte

If you use SQLite to hold your data, the data will be stored permanently in the file on your Harddisk.

this page explains a bit on how it works: http://www.sqlite.org/about.html

Cheers,

Malte
