This is nice.

IMHO this is not and should be considered for a change.
Why couldn't the presets live in their own db? Ie. a library.db,
preset.db, vocabulary.db, styles.db?
Actual assignments should get written to library.db, but I think it
would be better to keep stuff that is not part of an *individual* photo
separated. Instead of DB files one could think of storing those settings
in individual files which would probably ease up sharing as well.
(something like styles/ presets/ vocabulary/ though for vocabulary a db
should be used I think.)
This separation would also ease up backups a lot, I think.
