There are lots of tools to access SQLite databases, but I've never
seen a tool to access mork files.

There are more polite ways to tell that you don't share my opinion.

So it's you who has no idea what he is talking about?

I do. I just don't thing that SQLite is worse than mork. And I have
told why I think so.
