Currently xml2db_symbol.py needs to remove the existing db file, because it 
only can INSERT and not UPDATE records. Of course we can't be sure, so we 
could at least implement UPDATE to avoid removing the records existing only in 
db file, but I can't imagine how to avoid overwritting more recent records with 
older xml data. I don't know if it's worth the effort while it's all in git.
