I highly reccomend 'Database Design for Mere Mortals' by Michael J. Hernandez ISBN: 0-201-69471-9 or 'Data & Databases: Concepts in Practice' by Joe Celko ISBN: 1-55860-432-4 They have both added much to my understandinf of RDBMs and information management. -- /* All outgoing email scanned by Norton Antivirus 2002 */ Amer Neely, Softouch Information Services W: www.softouch.on.ca E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] V: 519.438.5887 Perl | PHP | MySQL | CGI programming for all data entry forms.
