Uhh boys , I think I can help a bit....
I agree that the problem is that you're working behind the server but
... the solution is to do something in order to it understantd what are
you doing.
I suggest you make a "commit" commnad in SQL every time you modify
something in the database through SQL.... sure it will work and the server
will understand the changes !!!!
PLease I would be very grateful if you mail back to tell us wheter I'm
correct or not.
