All you need is one binary from www.sqlite.org – I don’t follow
why this is a problem. And I certainly prefer talking SQL at a
database than writing throwaway helper script code to manipulate
serialised data structures.

Who cares about performance – I don’t want to have to write code
to walk data structures just to ask questions about a heap of
records. Sometimes with an in-memory data structure I resort to
DBD::RAM instead of writing endless chains of maps, greps and
foreach loops just because SQL is so much lazier.
SQLite is a godsend. (drh++)
