You might have some success using hand-coded routines for the last / hardest-working portion of the rasterizer, and just use SQLite to translate data from a format produced by the front-end to a format that matches the back-end.

I'm interested in relational programming for 3D meshes. For example what if we could use the form of a query to write a routine that splits a 3D mesh (creating new triangles at the boundary?)

The mesh manipulation is what interests me as well. I feel like SQL allows for a unique opportunity to explore solutions that would otherwise be impractical/difficult to experiment with using hand-coded imperative methods.
