Well, I think Alvaro's point was, that most of that could be done in the 
database, reducing the amount of queries. While that's certainly true, 
the amount of queries isn't that much of an issue with an embedded SQL 
database like SQLite. Only if you are thinking in terms of bigger 
RDBMSen, like Alvaro supposedly did, it would make sense to put more 
logic into the database itself. (In case of Postgres, the first problem 
we face would be, mixing C++ with SPI C code)
