	The relationship is the same as with any other driver:
You have to start with:

require"luasql.sqlite" -- or the driver you want instead of sqlite
env = luasql.sqlite()
conn = env:connect("ex1") -- you may have to add a username and password

	After the mentioned lines above, you can continue with:

assert(conn:execute("create table tbl1(one varchar(10), two smallint)"))
assert(conn:execute("insert into tbl1 values('hello!',10)"))
assert(conn:execute("insert into tbl1 values('goodbye',20)"))
cursor = assert(conn:execute("select * from tbl1"))
row = {}
while cursor:fetch(row) do
	print(table.concat(row, '|'))
end

	It is just a simple example; does it fail ?
	By reading the docs -- particularly the `fetch' method -- you'll
see that other constructions can be used instead of the above one.
