There is no difference between  the two versions where database functions
are concerned. The old (VM) database  functions have a known flaw where a
lot of storage may be required  to read messages from notebook files with
a large  LRECL. The new database  functions (SEARCH command) do  not have
this problem. There are a number of minor problems in the 1.8c version of
the  new database  functions which  leads to  somewhat excessive  storage
usage for larger databases, to the point where non-XA sites may be unable
to host them even after pruning the  DCSSes. There is a fix for this, but
again this  has no  impact on  the old database  functions which  will be
phased out eventually.
