He specifically mentioned SQLite - and for practice that sounds quite 
well. Of course for an application with possibly many users of one and 
the same database it might not be.

But tenant-codes (which sound like primary keys in a SQL context) with 
different prefixes and autoincrementing number parts would need second 
thoughts.
