Please, use the version from the repository, since the 4.9 is way too buggy. > but my researchers are telling me some data is missing.

Main information about titles and names are stored into the 'title', 'name', 'char_name' and 'company_name' tables. Information about movies are stored in the 'movie_info' table, specifically in the 'info' field, which is always a text field; it's meaning is given by the 'info_type_id' column (foreign key over 'info_type.id'). Information about persons are stored, in a similar way, in the 'person_info' table. Information about people who worked on a movie are stored in the 'cast_info' table: there, the 'person_role_id' refers to a role as per 'role_type' table. Hope this help; if you have more specific questions, just ask. -- Davide Alberani <davide.alber...@gmail.com> [PGP KeyID: 0x465BFD47] http://www.mimante.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
