It would be better to do something like this:

addDatabase("ar")
addDatabase("arCustomer")

addField("arCustomer","arcuAddr1",25) -- why have field length specs?!
...

addData("arCustomer","arcuAddr1","2900 Independence Pkwy")
...

Not only for reason CChris already stated, but also for ease of development
and management of that data in the future.

An even better better way would be to use a database like EDB.
