Depending on what we are storing this column as, if we are going to be storing this string in a column named `VAMPS_ID` it should definitely be whatever VAMPS uses as an identifier, if it's `MBE_####` or if it is `####` just for the sake of consistency. Otherwise the name of the column would not really make sense right?

I don't like the idea of having to format the ID in some extra piece of code an ID should be useful as it is.
