Somewhere, somewhen, someone put together something (a bunch of shell scripts?) that gave you some fraction of a database's power on plain text files.
(Somewhat fuzzy, I know ... wetware not competitive these days.)
- avh02 10y agopartially responded to this on bjt's comment. my original premise for sqlite was that it's in-place on the file (no daemon, etc), until this Ask thread I never knew sqlite had such longevity planned. edit: I don't doubt it either, I could probably gun-to-my-head do this with csv's and bash kung-fu, but i'd rather not because it's a barrier to usage.
