Thanks! I actually broke out a Windows box to try it out so that I could see how it would relate keys :-) Now I have some sample syntax for foreign keys, if nothing else. Anyone know of a design tool which runs on Linux and FreeBSD? % % Personally, I like to keep all my "drop" statements in one script, all my % "create" scripts in another, and all my "populate" scripts in yet another. Yeah, I think I'll do something like that. % % Arthur Thanks & HAND & Happy Holidays mysql query, :-D -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * society and not sufficient moral courage.
