I hope, there will be some nice tools to modify the
database by hand. (I'm one of those admins, who like his
editor for doing _many_ things.)

Berkeley DB for example has a dump-tool, so one can dump
the db out, modify it and convert it back to a DB.

I don't know, whether tdbtool has this. (Should realy check
myself...)
