Org tables are great but for visualization and querying maybe databases
are better, for example sqlite for small amounts of data is very nice
and powerful.

I found this
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/multitarget-tables.php which I
haven't tried yet but looks nice.

I would like to have an automatic way to automatically fill some
database tables from orgmode tables, done maybe automatically when the
file is saved.
So the hook should:
- check for tables with #+ORGTBL line above
- store the data on the right sqlite table

Rewrite completely the table every time is not a big problem since the
amount of data is really not big.

Given that I will be able to do nice things with python-sqlite and also
finally replace this
http://alexandria.rubyforge.org/
for book management

Anyone is already doing something like that?
