  39 Well you shouldn't be.  Services databases in SQL format would be
  40 wonderful, but not from a backup point of view - it's easy to set up
  41 a regular copy of the databases to elsewhere.
  42
  43 No, the big win with such a thing is that you can interface it to
  44 many other tools.  For example, it would be easy to make a web page
  45 where every user can see their access in different channels, what
  46 memos they have etc etc, all on one page instead of through
  47 executing many different IRC commands.
  48
  49 But, it would be a lot of work for the benefit of comparatively few
  50 people (I would imagine most users of ircservices are not that
  51 bothered about such things).
  52
  53 It probably isn't even as simple a *concept* as replacing access to
  54 data structures in memory with access to a database, because at the
  55 moment the only thing that can modify the databases whilst services
  56 is running, is services itself.  If a database were to be used to
  57 full potential, other tools and interfaces could well be altering
  58 the databases at any time without services knowledge.

  60 If only I had the time. :)
