[Users] direct manipulation of DB

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi,

you can directly manipulate the DB, but note that there are some module 
which do caching of the DB content; so even if you modify the DB 
contents openser will not be aware of this; some of the modules which do 
caching also provide a reload function (via fifo).

In you particular case, the usrloc does caching...you may try 
db_aliasesmodule, another alias implementation without caching.

regards,
bogdan
