Wow, look at the argument. tsk tsk tsk
Be a lot shorter if Danneblitz was merely deleted off of the list,
...because this sort of behavior has been exhibited before, sadly.

Fenton, shut the fuck up guy.
Other people suggested Excel, or even file cards. It worked well for them.
Why not the original poster? So I chime in and say I think it is overkill
to
have a relational database. Then you go off on a tangent again. As usual.
Oh, and start belittling people. As usual. I can play your game too.

It's too bad your posts to this list on this subject do not exhibit
any evidence of that experience.

Nobody suggested a "huge relational thing" -- that's a straw man that
you've created in your own mind.

Johannes did not provide enough information for you to make a
judgment call on whether or not a relational database is the best for
his needs.

And I've proposed simple, starting with a pre-designed library
template.

It's not the most complex in the long run, though it takes more work
at the beginning.

"Best" is going to be determined by Johannes, not by you.
You haven't made anything like a persuasive or coherent argument
against a properly designed database -- you simply insist over and
over again that the straw man "huge relational thing" is a bad idea.
That's intellectually dishonest on your part since nobody proposed
anything of the sort.
