Forget the "Database Events" suite that Apple provides since it kind

Database Events is a simple object database. It's not a relational
database and not intended as a replacement for one. That it happens to
be built on SQLite is merely an implementation detail.
It's best to use one of the SQL scripting additions or even via do
shell script.
IIRC, the only SQL osax is SQLiteAddOns; there's also a couple of
application-based options, e.g. Valentina. Not aware of any non-
commercial solutions for AppleScript (other than mucking about with
'do shell script', which is crude and slow) although they're pretty
common for other languages such as Python, Ruby, etc.
