Just off hand, I don't think this provides enough room for future growth.
It would be nicer if your script could handle the format the COAS uses
instead of creating a new incompatible format. This would help us migrate

If COAS is truely what it claims the implementing a program to pull
information from the database for use in a script should be fairly
simple..
