gollark: How flexible is RPNCalcv4 backend-wise?

gollark: AutoBotRobot uses it for all non-config data.

gollark: SQLite is generally very cool

gollark: The SQLite documentation; it's exciting reading material.

gollark: FUN FACT: Do not open an SQLite database connection, then fork(), then try to use that database connection in the child process. All kinds of locking problems will result and you can easily end up with a corrupt database. SQLite is not designed to support that kind of behavior. Any database connection that is used in a child process must be opened in the child process, not inherited from the parent.
