I couldn't agree more with that. A reluctance on part of the IT department
should have you talk to your supervisor and IT about what your needs are,
why those needs exist and how those needs can be fulfilled within the
corporate policy framework - and never in trying to find a workaround
solution you implement yourself. That will be unsupported, may have unknown
side effects - SQLlite probably won't, but in principle, you do not exist in
a vacuum if you're on a corporate network - and possibly violate a policy,
resulting in very negative personal consequences for you, ranging from
"being on IT's hitlist" to termination.

They sign your paycheck, they make the rules - no matter how much you may
disagree with the rules.

Felix
