Myself I inspect almost any database backed values through Emacs, edit
it, update it, delete it. Then I have implemented for my rather simple
purposes a `rcd-vc' package that saves any edited database column
value that I designate to be saved into the database. And I have
implemented for myself `diff' feature to find differences. Not that I
have much time and need for it, but from time to time I find it very
handy. Thus same can be implemented for SQLite.

Databases can be easily archived, its tables, columns, can be
archived, that is what rcd-vc.el is doing within the database. 

Indexing and checksuming and many other features are often built-in
features in the database. 

Access to databases opens wide range of opportunities for Emacs users.
