What about archiving older data? Is it possible to create an (gzipped?) 
crd.1.db ?

Then it can be made part of logrotate, and the user will be able to
decide the time. And this may even be triggered by size.

Anyway, I want to build asterisk packages with asterisk-sqlite so that
if someone is already using CSV, there won't be a surprise about CDR
suddenly not working.
