You can create your own virtual table mechanism <http://www.sqlite.org/vtab.html> or you can implement your own virtual file system <http://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/vfs.html> A third alternative is to jettison the SQLite name entirely and just to take some of the source code that makes up SQLite and use it for your own software which accesses FITS files. You don't need any license to use any of the SQLite source code, just use it and (for preference) credit the SQLite team for supplying it.
