Chris, Andrew, Dan, et al.
Considering Chris' comment, did he/you mean relational or all
databases? Is OO Base the right thing to use for a flat file
format database? Does the tutorial come from the perspective
of relational / flat file / or independent of either?

I commend you on working on this tutorial. I have tried a number of times on other data bases and never did succeed.
I would like to blame entirely the scarce documentation, but, I have to admit that I did not understand some of the basic concepts of all the components of a relational data base as implemented.
When you have this set up further I would certainly like to test it from a poor sluggers view.

I have had the same feeling. I will grab your upload and see what I can do with an appropriate re-write ASAP and put it back up.
Thanks - I know that this can be made much better with help from folks like yourself.

I have reviewed the first part of the employee_tutorial file and uploaded it to the feedback folder for User's how-to's.
I have one major problem with this file. I followed the directions as I went along. Near the end, I was greeted with a heading: It does not work. This is a show stopper. I like the instructions for the most part, but I feel a re-write of this tutorial giving the steps needed to create a good database would serve a new user much better. That is what I would like to see.
