<para>
This function will return a result handle or &false; on failure.
For queries that return rows, the result handle can then be used with
functions such as <function>sqlite_fetch_array</function> and
<function>sqlite_seek</function>.
</para>
<para>
Regardless of the query type, this function will return &false; if the
query failed.
</para>
<para>
<function>sqlite_query</function> returns a buffered, seekable result
handle. This is useful for reasonably small queries where you need to
be able to randomly access the rows. Buffered result handles will
allocate memory to hold the entire result and will not return until it
has been fetched. If you only need sequential access to the data, it is
recommended that you use the much higher performance
<function>sqlite_unbuffered_query</function> instead.

<warning>
<simpara>
SQLite <emphasis>will</emphasis> execute multiple queries separated by
semicolons, so you can use it to execute a batch of SQL that you have
loaded from a file or have embedded in a script. However, this works only
when the result of the function is not used - if it is used,
only the first SQL statement would be executed. Function
<function>sqlite_exec</function> will always execute multiple SQL
statements.
</simpara>
<simpara>
When executing multiple queries, the return value of this function
will be &false; if there was an error, but undefined otherwise (it might
be &true; for success or it might return a result handle).
