<title>Overview</title>
<para>
ALIAS_DB module can be used as an alternative for user aliases
via usrloc. The main feature is that it does not store all addiacent
data as for user location and always uses database for search (no
memory caching).
</para>
<para>
Having no memory caching the speed of search can decrease but the
provisioning is easier. With very fast databases like MySQL the speed
penalty can be lowered. Also, the search can be performed on different
tables in the same script.
