Yes, that's true, and just to be clear, that's not what I'm suggesting or expecting :-)
What I want is to use Leo to build the *code* that constructs/populates/queries a separate 'proper' database. One option is just to have Leo remain in Sqlite (and allow some basic querying that way), but *also* to define a connection in which to run various updates and queries through a global variable or something. For this I want Leo to supplement/replace a query studio. Another option is to use agnostic ansi sql or a wrapper library (sqlalchemy has some support for this) to store the Leo node tables inside of another target db, thereby allowing joins and things between the Leo nodes and their non-Leo counterparts. I can think of arguments for both based on different circumstances, but initially at least, my preference would probably be the former.
