The database implementation in zMUD/CMUD is rather clunky.
Given the amount of data here I would suggest storing it in a database variable, but that feature is part of CMUD, not zMUD.

That said, first, you need triggers to be able to capture all of the information.
I would suggest a multistate trigger, but not all the lines appear for every item, might be easier to use temporary variables.

#TR {Short Description: '(*)', Name ~(aliases~): (*)} {
sdesc=%1
aliases=%replace(%trim(%2), " ", "|")
}

And so on, then once you have all the data you need you plug it into the appropriate spots in the database.
Check out the help files since I am not familiar with them.

#HELP #DBLOAD
#HELP #DBGET
#HELP #DBPUT
#HELP #DBSAVE
#HELP #DBCLOSE

If you upgrade to CMUD I can help you with the other method, or you can review one of the other threads where I have outlined the process for others.
