+## How do I do a database query?
+### I just want an array of the rows...
+
+Use the `Database#execute` method. If you don't give it a block, it will
+return an array of all the rows:
+
+```ruby
+  require 'sqlite3'
+
+  db = SQLite3::Database.new( "test.db" )
+  rows = db.execute( "select * from test" )
+```
+
+### I'd like to use a block to iterate through the rows...
+
+Use the `Database#execute` method. If you give it a block, each row of the
+result will be yielded to the block:
+
+
+```ruby
+  require 'sqlite3'
+
+  db = SQLite3::Database.new( "test.db" )
+  db.execute( "select * from test" ) do |row|
+    ...
+  end
+```
+
+### I need to get the column names as well as the rows...
+
+Use the `Database#execute2` method. This works just like `Database#execute`;
+if you don't give it a block, it returns an array of rows; otherwise, it
+will yield each row to the block. _However_, the first row returned is
+always an array of the column names from the query:
+
+
+```ruby
+  require 'sqlite3'
+
+  db = SQLite3::Database.new( "test.db" )
+  columns, *rows = db.execute2( "select * from test" )
+
+  # or use a block:
+
+  columns = nil
+  db.execute2( "select * from test" ) do |row|
+    if columns.nil?
+      columns = row
+    else
+      # process row
+    end
+  end
+```
+
+### I just want the first row of the result set...
+
+Easy. Just call `Database#get_first_row`:
+
+
+```ruby
+  row = db.get_first_row( "select * from table" )
+```
+
+
+This also supports bind variables, just like `Database#execute`
+and friends.
+
+### I just want the first value of the first row of the result set...
+
+Also easy. Just call `Database#get_first_value`:
+
+
+```ruby
+  count = db.get_first_value( "select count(*) from table" )
+```
+
+
+This also supports bind variables, just like `Database#execute`
+and friends.
+
+## How do I prepare a statement for repeated execution?
+
+If the same statement is going to be executed repeatedly, you can speed
+things up a bit by _preparing_ the statement. You do this via the
+`Database#prepare` method. It returns a `Statement` object, and you can
+then invoke `#execute` on that to get the `ResultSet`:
+
+
+```ruby
+  stmt = db.prepare( "select * from person" )
+
+  1000.times do
+    stmt.execute do |result|
+      ...
+    end
+  end
+
+  stmt.close
+
+  # or, use a block
+
+  db.prepare( "select * from person" ) do |stmt|
+    1000.times do
+      stmt.execute do |result|
+        ...
+      end
+    end
+  end
+```
+
+
+This is made more useful by the ability to bind variables to placeholders
+via the `Statement#bind_param` and `Statement#bind_params` methods. (See the
+next FAQ for details.)
+
+## How do I use placeholders in an SQL statement?
+    
+Placeholders in an SQL statement take any of the following formats:
+
+
+* `?`
+* `?_nnn_`
+* `:_word_`
+
+
+Where _n_ is an integer, and _word_ is an alpha-numeric identifier (or
+number). When the placeholder is associated with a number, that number
+identifies the index of the bind variable to replace it with. When it
+is an identifier, it identifies the name of the corresponding bind
+variable. (In the instance of the first format--a single question
+mark--the placeholder is assigned a number one greater than the last
+index used, or 1 if it is the first.)
+
+
+For example, here is a query using these placeholder formats:
+
+
+```sql
+  select *
+    from table
+   where ( c = ?2 or c = ? )
+     and d = :name
+     and e = :1
+```
+
+
+This defines 5 different placeholders: 1, 2, 3, and "name".
+
+
+You replace these placeholders by _binding_ them to values. This can be
+accomplished in a variety of ways.
+
+
+The `Database#execute`, and `Database#execute2` methods all accept additional
+arguments following the SQL statement. These arguments are assumed to be
+bind parameters, and they are bound (positionally) to their corresponding
+placeholders:
+
+
+```ruby
+  db.execute( "select * from table where a = ? and b = ?",
+              "hello",
+              "world" )
+```
+
+
+The above would replace the first question mark with 'hello' and the
+second with 'world'. If the placeholders have an explicit index given, they
+will be replaced with the bind parameter at that index (1-based).
+
+
+If a Hash is given as a bind parameter, then its key/value pairs are bound
+to the placeholders. This is how you bind by name:
+
+
+```ruby
+  db.execute( "select * from table where a = :name and b = :value",
+              "name" => "bob",
+              "value" => "priceless" )
+```
+
+
+You can also bind explicitly using the `Statement` object itself. Just pass
+additional parameters to the `Statement#execute` statement:
+
+
+```ruby
+  db.prepare( "select * from table where a = :name and b = ?" ) do |stmt|
+    stmt.execute "value", "name" => "bob"
+  end
+```
+
+
+Or do a `Database#prepare` to get the `Statement`, and then use either
+`Statement#bind_param` or `Statement#bind_params`:
+
+
+```ruby
+  stmt = db.prepare( "select * from table where a = :name and b = ?" )
+
+  stmt.bind_param( "name", "bob" )
+  stmt.bind_param( 1, "value" )
+
+  # or
+
+  stmt.bind_params( "value", "name" => "bob" )
+```
+
+## How do I discover metadata about a query?
+  
+If you ever want to know the names or types of the columns in a result
+set, you can do it in several ways.
+
+
+The first way is to ask the row object itself. Each row will have a
+property "fields" that returns an array of the column names. The row
+will also have a property "types" that returns an array of the column
+types:
+
+
+```ruby
+  rows = db.execute( "select * from table" )
+  p rows[0].fields
+  p rows[0].types
+```
+
+
+Obviously, this approach requires you to execute a statement that actually
+returns data. If you don't know if the statement will return any rows, but
+you still need the metadata, you can use `Database#query` and ask the
+`ResultSet` object itself:
+
+
+```ruby
+  db.query( "select * from table" ) do |result|
+    p result.columns
+    p result.types
+    ...
+  end
+```
+
+
+Lastly, you can use `Database#prepare` and ask the `Statement` object what
+the metadata are:
+
+
+```ruby
+  stmt = db.prepare( "select * from table" )
+  p stmt.columns
+  p stmt.types
+```
+
+## I'd like the rows to be indexible by column name.
+
+By default, each row from a query is returned as an `Array` of values. This
+means that you can only obtain values by their index. Sometimes, however,
+you would like to obtain values by their column name.
+
+
+The first way to do this is to set the Database property `results_as_hash`
+to true. If you do this, then all rows will be returned as Hash objects,
+with the column names as the keys. (In this case, the `fields` property
+is unavailable on the row, although the "types" property remains.)
+
+
+```ruby
+  db.results_as_hash = true
+  db.execute( "select * from table" ) do |row|
+    p row['column1']
+    p row['column2']
+  end
+```
+
+
+The other way is to use Ara Howard's
+[`ArrayFields`](http://rubyforge.org/projects/arrayfields)
+module. Just `require "arrayfields"`, and all of your rows will be indexable
+by column name, even though they are still arrays!
+
+
+```ruby
+  require 'arrayfields'
+
+  ...
+  db.execute( "select * from table" ) do |row|
+    p row[0] == row['column1']
+    p row[1] == row['column2']
+  end
+```
+
+## I'd like the values from a query to be the correct types, instead of String.
+    
+You can turn on "type translation" by setting `Database#type_translation` to
+true:
+
+
+```ruby
+  db.type_translation = true
+  db.execute( "select * from table" ) do |row|
+    p row
+  end
+```
+
+
+By doing this, each return value for each row will be translated to its
+correct type, based on its declared column type.
+
+
+You can even declare your own translation routines, if (for example) you are
+using an SQL type that is not handled by default:
+
+
+```ruby
+  # assume "objects" table has the following schema:
+  #   create table objects (
+  #     name varchar2(20),
+  #     thing object
+  #   )
+
+  db.type_translation = true
+  db.translator.add_translator( "object" ) do |type, value|
+    db.decode( value )
+  end
+
+  h = { :one=>:two, "three"=>"four", 5=>6 }
+  dump = db.encode( h )
+
+  db.execute( "insert into objects values ( ?, ? )", "bob", dump )
+
+  obj = db.get_first_value( "select thing from objects where name='bob'" )
+  p obj == h
+```
+
+## How do I insert binary data into the database?
+
+Use blobs. Blobs are new features of SQLite3. You have to use bind
+variables to make it work:
+
+
+```ruby
+  db.execute( "insert into foo ( ?, ? )",
+    SQLite3::Blob.new( "\0\1\2\3\4\5" ),
+    SQLite3::Blob.new( "a\0b\0c\0d ) )
+```
+
+
+The blob values must be indicated explicitly by binding each parameter to
+a value of type `SQLite3::Blob`.
+
+## How do I do a DDL (insert, update, delete) statement?
+
+You can actually do inserts, updates, and deletes in exactly the same way
+as selects, but in general the `Database#execute` method will be most
+convenient:
+
+
+```ruby
+  db.execute( "insert into table values ( ?, ? )", *bind_vars )
+```
+
+## How do I execute multiple statements in a single string?
+    
+The standard query methods (`Database#execute`, `Database#execute2`,
+`Database#query`, and `Statement#execute`) will only execute the first
+statement in the string that is given to them. Thus, if you have a
+string with multiple SQL statements, each separated by a string,
+you can't use those methods to execute them all at once.
+
+
+Instead, use `Database#execute_batch`:
+
+
+```ruby
+  sql = <<SQL
+    create table the_table (
+      a varchar2(30),
+      b varchar2(30)
+    );
+
+    insert into the_table values ( 'one', 'two' );
+    insert into the_table values ( 'three', 'four' );
+    insert into the_table values ( 'five', 'six' );
+  SQL
+
+  db.execute_batch( sql )
+```
+
+
+Unlike the other query methods, `Database#execute_batch` accepts no
+block. It will also only ever return `nil`. Thus, it is really only
+suitable for batch processing of DDL statements.
+
+## How do I begin/end a transaction
+    
+Use `Database#transaction` to start a transaction. If you give it a block,
+the block will be automatically committed at the end of the block,
+unless an exception was raised, in which case the transaction will be
+rolled back. (Never explicitly call `Database#commit` or `Database#rollback`
+inside of a transaction block--you'll get errors when the block
+terminates!)
+
+
+```ruby
+  database.transaction do |db|
+    db.execute( "insert into table values ( 'a', 'b', 'c' )" )
+    ...
+  end
+```
+
+
+Alternatively, if you don't give a block to `Database#transaction`, the
+transaction remains open until you explicitly call `Database#commit` or
+`Database#rollback`.
+
+
+```ruby
+  db.transaction
+  db.execute( "insert into table values ( 'a', 'b', 'c' )" )
+  db.commit
+```
+
+
+Note that SQLite does not allow nested transactions, so you'll get errors
+if you try to open a new transaction while one is already active. Use
+`Database#transaction_active?` to determine whether a transaction is
+active or not.
