SQLitePlugin is a powerful and easy-to-use database plugin for REALbasic built on top of SQLite, an embeddable, stand-alone SQL database library written in C.

The most important new feature in SQLitePlugin 1.3 is support for older versions of REALbasic. SQLitePlugin now supports versions of REALbasic beginning with 2.1.2. SQLitePlugin 1.3 also fixes a bug that prevented temporary files from being deleted properly.
