jmdict vs edict2

JMDict numbers disparate definitions, whereas EDICT just lists them all together.

1 degree; extent; just right amount of noun (common) (futsuumeishi),adjectival nouns or quasi-adjectives (keiyodoshi),noun, used as a suffix
2 condition; state of health noun (common) (futsuumeishi),noun, used as a suffix
3 adjustment; moderation noun (common) (futsuumeishi),noun or participle which takes the aux. verb suru
4 addition and subtraction

So far I have about 20K notes that have Japanese definitions and and example usages filled in. So for 加減, for example, I could match the Japanese and English numbers:

1 degree; extent; just right amount of noun (common) (futsuumeishi),adjectival nouns or quasi-adjectives (keiyodoshi),noun, used as a suffix
2 condition; state of health noun (common) (futsuumeishi),noun, used as a suffix
3 adjustment; moderation noun (common) (futsuumeishi),noun or participle which takes the aux. verb suru
4 addition and subtraction

(Definition)
1 ある条件の具合によって変わる程度
2 物事の具合
3 調節すること。その程度
4 加えることと減らすこと

(Usage)
1 腹の減り―で時刻が分かる。ばかさ―　
2 寒さの―で腰が痛む。腹の減り―で食事を調節する
3 力［温度］を―する。湯―をみる
4 両方の数を―して調整する

They wouldn't all work out this neatly, but I like the idea of making a deck containing all of this information. Not even for myself, but as something that could potentially be shared and improved upon over time.

So you're saying if there was a jmdict.sqlite file used in the place of the current edict.sqlite file, it would work just fine? Sounds great, but I can't find a .sqlite version of JMDict.
