Maybe so. Even simpler recursion doesn't get executed, such as a quick poll of the sqlite_master table to trigger a system-wide count(*) of all tables isn't allowed, so it seems that it's held at the gate. Even if I mock up a transaction or a thorough UNION set through a view, I need to output it just to read in as an update.
