I wouldn't do that if I were you.  The sqlite in Tiger is an old  
version (3.1.3) that has bugs w/auto-vacuum.  Specifically, there are  
two autovacuum bugs that can corrupt your database. I upgraded my  
sqlite (fairly risky in itself) to the latest version so I could do  
it but I would not advise people to do it.
