  It is also a "work flow" issue. You SHOULD want "clean" recovery 
points. So what you should ask yourself is whether you should make sure 
of an EXPLICIT save:
1) After entering transactions for a day
2) After entering data like "customers"

Do you understand what I am saying? Even if SQLite were saving data 
after each entry (I am used to SQL systems that would need a "commit") 
you would not know WHERE you were at.
