Never mind. I dumped the file using the sqlite3 command line tool. Thank you
to all those who answered.
The file contains three INSERT statements, the first two don't have anything
of interest, and the third (which presumably contains all the data I'm trying
to recover) is an opaque 600+ KB blob.
Naturally. Why would you use a database as a database, when instead you could
just dump a big ball of mud into it?
