I would rephrase this as "requires write access to the database";
otherwise it sounds like "writable" (or lack) is persistent property of
databases.

This is a bit hard to follow. I think it would be better to isolate this
kind of parsing in a function in test-lib.sh; then at least the name
would suggest the intent.

I think the point is not that it _shows_ the contents, but that it finds
them
