[GNC] Database storage

Yes. They are similar. Both represent "atomic" updates, meaning "all or nothing".

Let's assume, "No." (-: Apparently SQLite represent zero improvement over the flat file storage. 

Is there a way to update backing store anytime I make a change, and not periodically? It seems like leaving updates lying around in memory is a good way to lose updates when the dog pulls the plug out of the wall. 

Thanks for the help,
