I think you misread what I said, or maybe didn't read the post I was replying to. I was pointing out that flat files have a problem with truncation; and that SQLite, despite being a very different thing than an append-only text file, can be effectively used as "an append only text file, but ACID." My question on how the GP poster feels about SQLite, is down to SQLite being the obvious solution to a problem I wasn't sure they realized they had — but also potentially still being "too many dependencies" for them.
