Database Events is an object database, not a relational one, hence the confusion. (Yes, it uses SQLite internally, but that's just an implementation detail which should be ignored.)

As other folks have suggested, put a [e.g.] SOAP wrapper around the database and have your scripts talk to that. Unless your AppleScript logic requires fine-grained interaction with the database, there is much merit in keeping them well insulated from one another.
