Umm, have you looked at apr_dbd.h?  It doesn't return void pointers to
you at all, it returns result and row structures, which you can
retrieve data out of via various functions.  apr_dbm.h is very DBM
like, but that's a totally different API and has nothing to do with
sqlite (or any sql database for that matter).
