DBD::SQLite::Cookbook \- The DBD::SQLite Cookbook
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This is the DBD::SQLite cookbook.
.PP
It is intended to provide a place to keep a variety of functions and
formals for use in callback APIs in DBD::SQLite.

This is a simple aggregate function which returns a variance. It is
adapted from an example implementation in pysqlite.

A more efficient variance function, optimized for memory usage at the
expense of precision:

.SS "Variance (Highly Scalable)"

A third variable implementation, designed for arbitrarily large data sets:

.SH "TO DO"
.IX Header "TO DO"
.IP "\(bu" 4
Add more and varied cookbook recipes, until we have enough to
turn them into a separate \s-1CPAN\s0 distribution.
