That's something I've seen discussed on the developer forums, and as far as I can remember, the idea was to use a database per musical folder (given multiple music folders would be supported, and a USB device would be considered as one musical folder). The question at the time was where the associated sqlite db files should reside, either at the root of the musical folder, or in another (SC) folder. Some people argued it would be nice to store the db files on the root of the folder, since the db could then be moved with a removable device, but others argued their musical folder was read-only and they intended to keep it that way.
