Depends... :) SQLite did transactions, subselects and some other stuff long
before MySQL did.

ACK, I do understand your point.

There are a few date/time calculation functions in SQLite; however, they are
undocumented and not really recommended for usage. On the other hand, they
have been there for some time now and might work for some more time... :)
This one is
SELECT strftime('%Y-%m-%d', Job.StartTime) FROM Job LIMIT 1;
btw :))

ACK. I'll see what else I can find.
Concatenation works just as in PostgreSQL (select foo || bar from baz);
the "STARTTIME_FOO" transformations can be done by strftime() calls (watch
out: strftime is _not_ fully compatible with the Unix/POSIX/whatever
strftime).
There exists a DBD (DBD::PgLite) which tries to transform PosgreSQL style SQL
statements to SQLite calls. I'm not sure whether it might help here, but it
would definitely be worth a try.

Hm... Well, my requirements need SQLite, and I'd still like to use bweb ;) I
do understand what you mean, though.
Thx for your comments, regards and have a nice weekend
