It's an idea that's been floating around for a while on this forum - check
the archives. I was going to say that the implementation was left as an
exercise for the reader. :) Ideally, the self-extracting archive should
gradually delete itself as it expands. You shouldn't need twice as much free
memory as the data actually consumes. This is one of the tricky parts.
Another trick is deleting the final "stub" when you're all done - how do you
delete yourself? Fun, fun!

Your database must be less than 64K (a bit less actually), so it sounds like
this won't work for you.
