Using Oracle in your startup sequencer means you have to start it before you can run 
the thing that starts it -- somewhat problematic. A cloud-based database still needs the
network running. I link the startup driver application statically with the sqlite3 library
and run it with the data file flagged as immutable (readonly, no locking).
