Updating sqlite database without XML

Question

My app requires data from a sqlite database. It will ship with a version of this database, but I need to update it on a regular basis (most likely once a month). Typically

Answer 1

Is it a completely new / distinct database each time, or is an updated version of the same database?

If the latter, have you considered sending only the changes (either via an explicit list of adds/updates/deletes, or using something like Zumero to automate the updates)?
