Handling updates

[Chipp Walters]

Hi Oak,

As I mentioned previously, SQLite is perfect for this type of project. 
It is virtually a zero-free maintenance database and updating it is as 
simple as updating the connector/engine file (1 file)- though it 
shouldn't need updating.

Our demo stack automatically checks to see if you have the latest 
update, and downloads it if you don't. You don't even have to restart 
Revolution after downloading the update.

best,

Chipp
