Yeah, should probably do that everywhere

Yup. I've actually been meaning to ago back and change that - too strict.

Unfortunatly so. The problem is that Ibid can't setup a new DB based on an

because one of the aims of the DB is to be cross-DB compatible.

We could insert the data, and just hope it works...
