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.
