Ah, thanks a lot - now it works! This is much more "user-friendly"...

Ok, I see... So SQLite is very good for "practicing"... I'll remember 
that, thank you.

Great, thank you very much...

Looks like everything is on track now... I just have to sit and play 
with it and make a good interface with matplotlib, but I think I should 
be able to come up with something nice, based on the help I god in this

Thanks again... I just love this python language - makes it possible to 
do so much, in so little time and without being an expert at all...
