Yes... when I started it i thought: "well, let's start with a
simple file stucture, and extend later". (I wanted it for a
mailer, so not much rows per table.) I never got around to extend
it... I'll do it now with version 3. :)

It's equivalent to:
load dbname/index

Nope, that was one of the things "I'll do it later"... :)
