I was thinking for a long time and came up with the same conclusion, since preparing long databases would defeat the purpose of playing Chess960 or FRC. Since the original creators, dating back before capablanca CRC and later became very popular with Bobby Fischer FRC, the entire purpose was to eliminate memorizing all the Opening and long prepared variations of different Openings.
