Good suggestion (and from Andreas as well) - yes, that definitely helps! Using the command line is a much better idea. I feel a bit silly for not thinking of it myself - oh well. (Too much time on iOS recently. That's my excuse.)
The Xcode UI for playing with the command line options is pretty good, too.
Thanks,

One is an iOS app and the other is the aforementioned command line program. My command line program will take the previous initial sqlite database from the iOS app's project directory, copy it into a temporary directory, update the data in the database, and then overwrite the previous initial database for the iOS app if there are no failures. It does this by referencing the items relative to the project directory.

Then, the next time I build, I inspect the build log in the log navigator for the line with the shell script I just added. If you select the line for the shell script a little oval with 5 horizontal lines will appear to the far right of the log navigator. Clicking it will reveal a list of all the environment variables that Xcode introduces.
