ok, maybe we can move the command to create the database directory and 
table file in a separate file -- it should include (int the future) also 
some commands to backup/restore/upgrade the structure -- and keep the 
commands to manipulate the content of tables in serctl.

This is what I am also afraid. Besides that, since now it is possible to 
use multiple database backends simultaneously, one may want to be able 
to use specific scripts (to avoid changing the database backend variable 
in one script each time).
