I disagree. We included sqlite support in Emacs to let Lisp programs
gain access to databases, but we didn't intend to make Emacs a
platform for developing full-fledged sqlite applications. And I see
nothing wrong with using external applications for DB administration,
especially since the tools to do that come with the same sqlite
installation as the library.

You take that logic too far beyond our intent.
