  <para>
   <function>sqlite_array_query</function> is similar to calling
   <function>sqlite_query</function> and then
   <function>sqlite_fetch_array</function> for each row of the result set
   and storing it into an array, as shown in the example below.  Calling
   <function>sqlite_array_query</function> is significantly faster than
   using such a script.

  <example>
   <title><function>sqlite_array_query</function> implemented yourself</title>
   <programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[<?php
$q = sqlite_query($database, "SELECT * from foo LIMIT 100");
$rows = array();
while ($r = sqlite_fetch_array($q)) {
   $rows[] = $r;
}
?>]]>
   </programlisting>
  </example>
  <tip>
   <para>
    <function>sqlite_array_query</function> is best suited to queries
    returning 45 rows or less.  If you have more data than that, it is
    recommended that you write your scripts to use
    <function>sqlite_unbuffered_query</function> instead for more optimal
    performance.
