+SQLiteC++ is a smart and simple C++ SQLite3 wrapper, easy to use and efficient.
+
+It is designed with the Resource Acquisition Is Initialization (RAII) idom
+(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Acquisition_Is_Initialization),
+and throw exceptions in case of SQLite errors.
+
+Each SQLiteC++ object must be constructed with a valid SQLite database connexion, and then is always valid until destroyed.
+
+Depandancies:
+
+ - a STL implementation (even an old one like VC6/eVC4 should work)
+ - exception support (the class Exception inherite from std::runtime_error)
+ - the SQLite library, either by linking to it dynamicaly or staticaly,
+   or by adding its source file in your project code base.
+
+
+To use it in your project, you only need to add the 6 SQLiteC++ source files
+in your project code base (not the main.cpp example file).
+
+Tot get started, look at the provided examples in main.cpp, starting by :
+<pre>
+int main (void)
+{
+    try
+    {
+        // Open a database file
+        SQLite::Database    db("example.db3");
+        std::cout << "SQLite database file '" << db.getFilename().c_str() << "' opened successfully\n";
+
+        // Compile a SQL query, containing one parameter (index 1)
+        SQLite::Statement   query(db, "SELECT * FROM test WHERE size > ?");
+        std::cout << "SQLite statement '" << query.getQuery().c_str() << "' compiled (" << query.getColumnCount () << " columns in the result)\n";
+        
+        // Bind the integer value 6 to the first parameter of the SQL query
+        query.bind(1, 6);
+
+        // Loop to execute the query step by step, to get one a row of results at a time
+        while (query.executeStep())
+        {
+            // Demonstrate how to get some typed column value
+            int         id      = query.getColumn(0); // = query.getColumn(0).getInt()
+            std::string value   = query.getColumn(1); // = query.getColumn(1).getText()
+            int         size    = query.getColumn(2); // = query.getColumn(2).getInt()
+
+            std::cout << "row : (" << id << ", " << value << ", " << size << ")\n";
+        }
+
+        // Reset the query to use it again later
+        query.reset();
+    }
+    catch (std::exception& e)
+    {
+        std::cout << "SQLite exception: " << e.what() << std::endl;
+    }
+}
+</pre>
