Wait, so you're saying that someone's attempting to directly read the 
database data resulted in an error in interpretation of said data--an 
error in interpretation that wouldn't have occurred if using the user 
interface in mythfrontend, as described (in extremely good detail) by Zigs?

I guess this is just the exception and not the rule and 99.999999999999% 
of the time, any user would correctly interpret the raw data.  So by all 
means, people, please ignore the frontend interface and just play around 
in the database.  I mean, after all, what kind of a wimp would use MS 
Word or LibreOffice Writer or OpenOffice.org Writer to edit a .doc 
file?  Real computer experts just poke bytes directly into the .doc file.
