I don't know about "just add water" -- you may have to "remove salt"
instead ;) -- but here is an SQL persistence setup for Quixote:

        issola.caltech.edu/~t/transfer/sql_example-13.4.04.tar.gz

It is linked to from the Wiki,

        http://quixote.ca/qx/

which you might find useful for other code, too.
