I agree that it's sometimes awkward that the update is modification time based - for example, if you add replaygain tags to your whole library you don't really want it all to end up with the same modification date. Perhaps it's worth looking into adding a feature there, since something a lot simpler than implementing SQLite would be possible. For now, I've never actually done this but I expect you could edit the database by hand, since it's stored as text. In particular, you could delete references to songs you want to update, or reset their mtime to something old and let mpd handle the rest. And of course, for move/delete cases the update <path> mechanism should be sufficient, with enough care in picking the path so that it doesn't have to scan all 100GB.
