I'm talking about PCB only.
What you do is you fire up your editor and make changes to the pcb file.
With the new file format, you have to fire up the sqlitebrowser tool.
SQL speed is fast. Parsing a text file and converting all the data to
binary is slow. Please note that this is a self contained,
configuration-less single file database.
