   <function>sqlite_factory</function> behaves similarly to
   <function>sqlite_open</function> in that it opens an SQLite database or
   attempts to create it if it does not exist.  However, a
   <link linkend="sqlite.class.sqlitedatabase">SQLiteDatabase</link> object is
   returned rather than a resource.  Please see the
   <function>sqlite_open</function> reference page for further usage and caveats.
