That would have the CLI and the GUI accessing the database simultaneously which calibre was not designed to handle. If nothing else, SQLite was designed as an embedded database not a client/server database. One major drawback to that design is that SQLite locks the entire database during a write which can result in very noticeable slowness if multiple users are trying to access it.
