Nice tutorial GrandFather. I have a few comments:
-
You cannot use the existence of Test.sqlite to infer the script worked as if you simply issue your create table and roll it back you will still have a Test.sqlite file.
-
Anyone actually running the first example might get confused by the error being output twice if it fails - PrintError. e.g., if they run it from a dir they don't have write permission for.
-
Not all databases can rollback DDL changes - SQLite can but many others cannot so it might not be a good example.
-
rollback can also die.
-
In the second script execute can return true but not actually insert a row. Obviously it is not going to happen here as your SQL is inserting but it is a common mistake that beginners make to think because execute returns true the SQL actually did something e.g., an update which does not change anything usually returns 0 but true.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
