The SQLite build included with Tiger is compatible with SQLite 
datafiles written by any standard build of sqlite3.  Core Data uses 
the stock SQLite3 API and, as such, you can poke at Core Data written 
SQL stores with the sqlite3 command line tool.

With that said, it is not supported nor encouraged that developers 
will go and access the data store directly.  In particular, writing 
data into the file can be particularly dangerous.
