No just inserts. After that you only need to include columns that have altered in your SQL statements, if you are concerned about efficiency, although the statements themselves use very little bandwidth. What will use bandwidth is select statements that return large data sets, but I don't think that will be an issue for you. 

Are arrays on mobile devices more memory intensive than an sqLite database?
