By 'not possible' I really meant 'maybe not a good idea'. I am not sure what might happen if I opened the SQLite database a second time (Trac being the first) and made my changes.
I think the second option you suggested sounds most interesting. In addition to this change, I will be adding some tables of my own that I will want to access in Trac but maintain elsewhere. So I could use my new skills for that as well. I looked at link [3] and will have do figure out what tractags/xmlrpc.py is really doing. I am guessing that I would add the RPC functions to Trac (either in the DownloadsPlugin or in my own) and also make an RPC client that uses this connection to make the required database changes? If I extended the DownloadsPlugin I think I would just add the missing update command and not bother with RPC. I made a ticket reflecting my interest in this addition to the Plugin. But perhaps learning to extend things via RPC is a good thing for me to do.
