Traditionally, print_FOO prints out the most important properties of a Lisp object type, but usually not all. So it's a matter of judgment how many properties to print out. I'm not sure what the right answer is here. Think about it some more. Compare with print_buffer: (current-buffer) ==> #<buffer "reply to Mikio Nakajima"> Hmmm. Forget about implementing database-properties for now. Think some more about it later, after implementing your other changes. I suggested database-properties by analogy with other Lisp object types, like event-properties and extent-properties. Martin
