I don't know, i don't plan on using them. I am happy with mine. One note, in the
early
90's when i began writing the db, i used numbers for the field names, making it
easy
for the puter to pick the next field name to add tags, and making the db pretty
much
unreadable by humans,, so i changed them to something i can read. 

In the smaller db that Tiggr accesses with mirc, i have <exec> tags as well,
loading
the contents into a variable, then executing the variable. This tailors the data
read out
to the nick or to the room, based on what else is going on at that time, or thru
programmable timers, at a later time.
