Answer 1

There is a sqlite driver included in LiveCode. Just read up on the revDB functions and commands. This tutorial will probably help you out:

The current version distributed with LiveCode is 3.7.4

Answer 2

In LiveCode 6 do the following
go to menu Help
choose Example Stacks and Resources
open the Examples folder
double click on SQLite Sampler.rev . The stack SQLite Sampler.rev contains explanations and code snippets.
Adapt the example code snippets to your needs.
For example the following snippet taken from that stack connects to a database AppReg3.db. The database is created if it does not exist yet.
gConID holds the connection identifier to refer to the database in later scripts.
# Connect button script
on mouseUp
global gConID
put revOpenDatabase("sqlite","AppReg3.db",,,,,,) into tConID
if tConID is "" then
answer warning "Problem creating or accessing database!"
else
answer information "AppReg Connected! Your connection ID is: " & tConID
put tConID into gConID
end if
end mouseUp
The following creates a table Users
on mouseUp
global gConID
if gConID is "" then
answer information "No Database is Connected to, please go back 1 step and connect to the Database!"
exit mouseUp
end if
put "CREATE TABLE users(userID integer primary key, name text,email text,emailList boolean)" into tSQL
put revExecuteSQL(gConID,tSQL) into tTmp
handleRevDBerror tTmp
if the result is not empty then
answer warning the result
exit mouseUp
end if
answer information "Number of Tables Added: " & tTmp
end mouseUp
