Yes, that's being over-simplistic :). sqlite3 doesn't support stored
procedures. It does support adding custom C functions, and fossil makes
some (but not extensive) use of that. sqlite3 provides the storage layer,
and is used to simplify/farm out some of the main logic, but there is a
large amount of C logic in the app which is essentially independent of
sqlite3.

Spend a few hours poking around in the sources and you'll get a better idea
of what i mean.
