\title{ Retrieve Data from SQLite Database }
\description{
Fetch data from SQLite database.  As with other methods
extending \code{getSymbols}
this function should \emph{NOT} be called directly.
}
\usage{
getSymbols.SQLite(Symbols,
                  env,
                  return.class = 'xts',
                  db.fields = c("row_names",
                                "Open",

                                "Low",
                                "Close",
                                "Volume",
                                "Adjusted"),

                  POSIX = TRUE,
                  ...)
}
\arguments{
  \item{Symbols}{ a character vector specifying the names of each
                  symbol to be loaded }
  \item{env}{ where to create the objects }
  \item{return.class}{ desired class of returned object }
  \item{db.fields}{ character vector naming fields to retrieve }
  \item{field.names}{ names to assign to returned columns }
  \item{dbname}{ database name }
  \item{POSIX}{ are rownames numeric }
  \item{\dots}{ additional arguments }
}
\details{
Meant to be called internally by \code{getSymbols} (see also)

One of a few currently defined methods for loading data for use
with 'quantmod'. Its use requires the packages 'DBI' and 'RSQLite',
along with a SQLite database.

The purpose of this abstraction is to make transparent the
'source' of the data, allowing instead the user to concentrate on
the data itself.

}
\value{
A call to getSymbols.SQLite will load into the specified
environment one object for each 'Symbol' specified, with class
defined by 'return.class'.
