Of course NOT!!!
I just asked to see if the database was really involved into user 
location processing. Let me explain again, when a user registers all the 
contact information is stored into memory from where ser takes it for 
any further processing. Also, it is stored  into table location of the 
database __only if you choose__ so in your config file -- by setting 
db_mode parameter of usrloc module to the value 1 or 2. This 
duplication, to database, helps when you, for some reasons -- let's say 
you have changed something in the config file, need to restart ser. In 
that moment, ser reloads all information about registered users prior 
the restart moment from database, so those users don't need to 
re-register. Again, you don't need to restart ser unless you modified 
the config file.
 
Why I asked if you had restarted ser ... because in this case the users 
contact information would have been loaded from database and if dbtext 
wasn't working properly then some data might be damaged and some users 
were not able to be contacted.

If you still have some doubts, let me know.

Best regards,
}Daniel
