I would recommend you take a copy of database.e, and *rename* it, eg
mydbs.e, then edit it to your hearts content. If after using it a
while and ironing out any bugs, you are finding it helpful/easier/less
confusing, and think others will also, then post it back as a user
contribution. I think you missed the boat for 2.5, so unless you want
to wait for 2.6 this is your only option.
If you just edit the standard includes without renaming them, expect
difficult problems when the thing gets installed on a system which
still has the standard includes, or they re-install euphoria runtime,
or indeed when you yourself upgrade to 2.5.

Pete
