DB is great (especially the scripting stuff) ! But if I had
three wishes I would say the following:
(1) A list should have a default which is one of the list
items and not neccessarily "N/A"
(2) List fileds should be editable "inline" from the main
screen (like a checkbox)
(3) There should be a better handling of NULL values.
Currently NULL values are treated like the string "N/A".
This looks strange when this is a sort key. Also AFAIK
there is no way to talk about NULLs in scripts.

Ok, I like some of your ideas, I will try to put them in to
the next 1.1 release. (3) has been addressed in my copy.
Null strings can be used in scripts using single quote
delimiters as in (not (seq %3 ''))
As for the remained of (3), do you think that 'N/A' should
just be changed to an empty string?
