unhex isn't anywhere near as simple as you think. For your specific case it is, but in the general case it isn't. For example what character set is used? What do you do when an error is encountered (eg an odd number of digits, invalid hex)? Also remember that SQLite is a library. It is running directly inside the app, and is not on the other end of a network connection with a surly administrator. You can modify it and enhance it in any way you deem fit. > I will investigate the dynamic extension thing tomorrow.

It looks like Spiceworks has a builtin extension mechanism. At the very least it has a wierd batch language, but presumably it can call external binaries/scripts. Maybe the user groups will have some advice on other approaches.
