Namecoin already has an id/ and a/ (alias) namespace for such use:
{ "name" : "id/pichler", "value" :
"\"BM-GtK6TiTtVo9toGVdk2zy3t4jGXZyZeMH\"", "expires_in" : 29397 },
{ "name" : "id/pigeons", "value" : "{ bitcoin:
1BekNv7ezkx8eAjdkrUta2BTp9bbxU9LGG, bitmessage:
BM-opfhTsUKdTezPiWFHxRQtM1ZMDvjKMkHf, ripple: rnziParaNb8nsU4aruQ
dwYE3j5jUcqjzFm}", "expires_in" : 10089 },
{ "name" : "id/pisces", "value" :
"\"BM-GtK6TiTtVo9toGVdk2zy3t4jGXZyZeMH\"", "expires_in" : 32034 },
{ "name" : "id/plattler", "value" :
"\"BM-GtK6TiTtVo9toGVdk2zy3t4jGXZyZeMH\"", "expires_in" : 30999 },
{ "name" : "id/pope", "value" : "{\n \"bitmessage\" :
\"BM-2D7L1Suh1choaKt321Le3bS6PT6nxfWqpR\"\n}", "expires_in" : 29765 },
It's popular enough that it's been squat spammed by a few actors
recently, and several bitmessage IDs are there along with Bitcoin
addresses, etc.

Get your SQL database under version control now!
Version control is standard for application code, but databases havent
caught up. So what steps can you take to put your SQL databases under
