Different strokes... I rarely use *those* command-line tools (though occasionally just firing up sqlite3 from the command line comes in handy).

I'll bear it in mind if I ever need such a thing. SQLite tends to be embedded in other applications I use, and the need to look directly at the data or schema is rare in my world.
