You can use the SQLite backup API to transfer an entire database from or to memory: http://www.sqlite.org/backup.html However, I'm not sure of the wisdom of saving data in this way. The SQLite file format is not simple or easy to inspect, and uses up a lot of space because it has to hold indexing information. Would it not make more sense to encode your data as XML or JSON and save this (or a .zipped version of this) in your MPEG4 instead ?
