+SQLite is the first extension that makes use of SPL automatically by simply
+enabling both.
+
+SQLite offers four access strategies:
+1) sqlite_query + sqlite_fetch_array
+2) sqlite_unbuffered_query + sqlite_fetch_array
+3) sqlite_query + iterators (sqlite_current)
+4) sqlite_unbuffered_query + iterators (sqlite_current)
+5) sqlite_array_query
+
+1) and 3) do "over eager evaluating" since they fetch all rows directly.
+
+2) does "eager evaluating". It always fetches the next row but doesn't 
+keep the current row, so that it must be stored elsewhere if it must be 
+accessed more then once. For instance this happens when you need to access 
+columns separately.
+
+4) does "eager evaluating". But in contrast to 2) it keeps the current row
+hence its name.
+
+There is no efficient way for "lazy or just in time evaluating" so 4) should 
+be the best case. And 4) also enables the foreach trick.
+
+5) does a full buffered fetch and returns the complete result into an array.
+As long as you only have a few rows in your result this is very fast and of
+course it is very flexible since you can access any column/row as often you
+like and in any order you like. But it needs to store the full result what
+is called "eager evaluating".
+
+Speedwise analysis:
+
+I compared a database using a table of round about 200 rows with 3 columns.
+I measured the case where 10 rows are returned, since i guess this is a 
+value often taken as default list size in web applications. However i did
+that 10 times because the loop initialization is the slowest part of foreach
+overloading. Since we are only interested in the relative effect foreach 
+overloading has i stiped the setup part and used a query result iteration 
+that does nothing. That means i run 'php -h' in the profiler first and then 
+profiled every single case. For completeness i also computed the values 
+including the setup process.
+
+Method,  without setup,  with setup
+1)          100.00%        100.00%
+2)           89.32%         97.16%
+3)           88.35%         96.90%
+
+Furthermore i did some more checks and found out that the loop process using
+foreach overloading (2) takes a constant time while it seems that the time 
+needed to add more rows to the array increases with the number of rows being
+already in the array. As a result (2) is faster than (3) after round about 45 
+rows.
+
+The loop codes used:
+
+1)  Unbuffered query
+
+<?php 
+$dbname = dirname(__FILE__).'/profile.sqlite';
+$db = sqlite_factory($dbname);
+
+for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
+	$res = $db->unbuffered_query("SELECT idx, name, size from files LIMIT 10", SQLITE_NUM);
+	while ($res->has_more()) {
+//		var_dump($res->current());
+		$res->current();
+		$res->next();
+	}
+}
+echo "DONE!\n";
+?>
+
+2) Unbuffered query using foreach overloading
+
+<?php 
+$dbname = dirname(__FILE__).'/profile.sqlite';
+$db = sqlite_factory($dbname);
+
+for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
+	foreach($db->unbuffered_query("SELECT idx, name, size from files LIMIT 10", SQLITE_NUM) as $row) {
+//		var_dump($row);
+	}
+}
+echo "DONE!\n";
+?>
+
+3) Array query method
+
+<?php 
+$dbname = dirname(__FILE__).'/profile.sqlite';
+$db = sqlite_factory($dbname);
+
+for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
+	foreach($db->array_query("SELECT idx, name, size from files LIMIT 10", SQLITE_NUM) as  $row)  {
+//		var_dump($row);
+	}
+}
+echo "DONE!\n";
+?>
