Using a SQLite database doesn't mean you can't use fabric, so it's not going to work better or worse. You see the difference? So far nothing you've said invalidates sqlite files or sql as a configuration interface. The version challenge points directly at what's wrong with config files: they aren't accessible to automation. If you can't even do this very simple thing from one programming language, then it means you can't do other things easily.
