Juan Carlos Cornejo 5e3a475a87 Found a function online at
http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/36131-Attempting-to-use-Sqlite-backup-api-from-driver-handle-fails
on a post by chemmalion that allows one to save a memory sqlite3 database to file.

This is really neat because now the strain on the hardrive is gone!

This version loads the database on startup and saves it every 3 minutes to disk.
The database is saved upon closing the program as well.

** This function is used to load the contents of a database file on disk
** into the "main" database of open database connection pInMemory, or
** to save the current contents of the database opened by pInMemory into
** a database file on disk. pInMemory is probably an in-memory database,
** but this function will also work fine if it is not.
**
** Parameter zFilename points to a nul-terminated string containing the
** name of the database file on disk to load from or save to. If parameter
** isSave is non-zero, then the contents of the file zFilename are
** overwritten with the contents of the database opened by pInMemory. If
** parameter isSave is zero, then the contents of the database opened by
** pInMemory are replaced by data loaded from the file zFilename.
**
** If the operation is successful, SQLITE_OK is returned. Otherwise, if
** an error occurs, an SQLite error code is returned.
