+
+<p>A <a href="vtab.html">virtual table</a> is an interface to an external storage or computation
+engine that appears to be a table but does not actually store information
+in the database file.</p>
+
+<p>In general, you can do anything with a <a href="vtab.html">virtual table</a> that can be done
+with an ordinary table, except that you cannot create indices or triggers on a
+virtual table. Some virtual table implementations might impose additional
+restrictions. For example, many virtual tables are read-only.</p>
+
+<p>The <span class='yyterm'>module-name</span> is the name of an object that implements
+the virtual table. The <span class='yyterm'>module-name</span> must be registered with
+the SQLite database connection using
+<a href="c3ref/create_module.html">sqlite3_create_module()</a> or <a href="c3ref/create_module.html">sqlite3_create_module_v2()</a>
+prior to issuing the CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE statement.
+The module takes zero or more comma-separated arguments.
+The arguments can be just about any text as long as it has balanced
+parentheses. The argument syntax is sufficiently general that the
+arguments can be made to appear as <a href="lang_createtable.html#tablecoldef">column definitions</a> in a traditional
+<a href="lang_createtable.html">CREATE TABLE</a> statement.
+SQLite passes the module arguments directly
+to the <a href="vtab.html#xcreate">xCreate</a> and <a href="vtab.html#xconnect">xConnect</a> methods of the module implementation
+without any interpretation. It is the responsibility
+of the module implementation to parse and interpret its own arguments.</p>
+
+<p>A virtual table is destroyed using the ordinary
+<a href="lang_droptable.html">DROP TABLE</a> statement. There is no
+DROP VIRTUAL TABLE statement.</p>
