I wish I had time to help...  but I'd suggest that a quick look into rpm
should reveal one of at least two possibilities:
1 - rpm is well structured -- separation possible (maybe easy)
2 - rpm is spaghetti code -- lost cause

If 1, it might be as simple as close/open db as you want...  why re-invent
the wheel if adding a bearing will eliminate the friction...

Good luck.
