sqlite file format, anyone?

[Derek Atkins]

It very much depends on how periods work... You may need to change
a bunch of pointers for transactions that were listed in the "current"
period but need to get moved into the "new" period...

However I acknowledge that this doesn't happen frequently (once a
month?  once a quarter?).
