(??)
It probably wouldn't be hard to modify the SQLite DBMI driver to allow
one file per map (like for DBF), but then you lose the ability to
perform joins (OTOH, if you're using DBF, you never had this ability
in the first place).
I also like the idea of one db file per map. But I didn't know about
the join problem (I can see joins being useful). Perhaps a db extract
command can be added for when one wants to isolate a map's files?
