  <para>
   <function>sqlite_unbuffered_query</function> is identical to
   <function>sqlite_query</function> except that the result that is returned
   is a sequential forward-only result set that can only be used to read
   each row, one after the other.
  </para>
  <para>
   This function is ideal for generating things such as HTML tables where
   you only need to process one row at a time and don't need to randomly
   access the row data.
  </para>
  <note>
   <para>
    Functions such as <function>sqlite_seek</function>, 
    <function>sqlite_rewind</function>, <function>sqlite_next</function>,
    <function>sqlite_current</function>, and
    <function>sqlite_num_rows</function> do not work on result handles
    returned from <function>sqlite_unbuffered_query</function>.

       The SQLite Database resource; returned from

       is not required when using the object-oriented method.

       The specified variable will be filled if an error occurs. This is

       the <function>sqlite_last_error</function> function.
