Indeed. One still needs tools to insert data into the database.
Does Postfix need to provide a minimal interface for this, or do we
assume that SQLite users will have adequate tools outside Postfix.
Does Postfix need to do anything to indicate transaction boundaries
between its lookups? Or is not starting a transaction in the first place,
sufficient to indicate that each query is independent from all the others?
