If you want to provide the data as an external db, you can dump on or more tables (definition and data) using

sqlite3 prepared.db ".dump mytable" > dump.sql

sqlite3 main.db < dump.sql

If you want to setup things programmatically in Java, make sure that you do everything in one single transaction using TransactionManager.callInTransaction, since multiple commits (autocommits) are quite expensive in SQLite.
