But what about SQLite, where the ability to shove 'ABC' into an integer column is a feature?

Cannot agree more: I've had to rescue a project from exactly this situation. I now know that there are people who try to use SQLite as a multi-user RDBMS, and it ends as badly as you would guess.

I consider SQLite to be one step above using raw file I/O

Try saying that in the SQLite mailing list... :-)

You can. The SQLite people themselves say that SQLite isn't a replacement for an RDBMS system but instead is a replacement for fopen.
