Huh? They can? With a pure textfile, if vi is busted, I can use ed. If
ed is also busted, I can use sed. What do I use on an sqlite database
if sqlite3 is busted?

I'm currently reinstalling all the ports on my system, changing
LOCALBASE from /usr/opt to /usr, just to see if this breaks
anything. Adjusting all those pure textfile configs for this is
trivial:

find /etc /usr/etc /usr/X11R6/etc -type f | xargs sed -e 's;/opt;;g' -i .opt 

How can I do this "as easily" if I were using sqlite database(s)?
