How about the security of that approach? Besides the obvious hacking with nonsense, that wouldn't compile, there is always the use of dangerous commands like drop table or zap. But worse could be changes that are hard to find, like changing a statistic or someone's salary or review type of thing.

Have you considered these issues? Is the code in memo fields kept in the clear?
