Randy, you mentioned earlier in the thread about database programmes, like MySQL. I find I have MySQL ,it comes with the distro. I installed it and find that it's a command line programme, and well yes, I know if you look in mysql --help you will get a list of commands and options etc, but you know it's a bit like going up to a chef and asking him to create a dish he has never heard of with nothing but a collection of ingredients to go by, not even a hint of what combination of command s to start with. I assume one puts up a shell and begin there. ? So as it stands I haven't a clue what to do to use the programme. Now I also wondered whether there was such a thing as a gui front end to this backend type programme. Anyone got any knowledge ? Also, I would like to understand, what if any is the difference between using a spreadsheet programme and using a database programme. What is the technical difference between them, do they work in different ways. In the spreadsheet programmes it would seem , the programme and the data are all loaded into memory, perhaps database programmes like MySQL work differently ? I don't know ! But if database programmes exist they must offer some technical advantage, what is it ? John -- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]
