I absolutely agree. Personally, next to finding Rev in the first place
(yeah!), Chipp's altSQlite plugin has got to be the most exciting news
I've run across in quite some time.

...I've already "shot" my personal software budget for this month or
I'd have already licensed a copy. That's okay, though next month's
budget is just around the corner. :)

Once the ability to use binary data is firmly in place, I see the
Rev/SQlite/altSQlite combination as an almost perfect solution...

..well, that is unless Kevin and crew decide to add a native SQL
database feature directly to Rev. :)
