Yikes, I didn't realize databases included the ability to edit the filesystem.

I don't ever intend to get into the area of writing my own password storage until I learn a lot more in the area of security. I am only aware of how little I don't know about what I don't know.

Yep.

    CREATE TABLE foo ( x TEXT );
    LOAD DATA INFILE "/etc/whatever" INTO TABLE foo ; 
    SELECT x FROM foo;

Did you know about INTO DUMPFILE in SELECT statements? =)
