Hey Aaron and the rest of the List-
>so am i.. where abouts? i'm in calgary...
I'm from Toronto. I live in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. I miss
snowboarding.
I didn't think my question was so off topic... I've seen lotsa emails about
converting data to put into a db on both Postgres and PHP mailing lists.
Thanks for the advice, though... I'll check out the search engines. If
anyone else has ideas that they have worked with, I still welcome your
answers.
>one would hope a web-consulting firm offering databse integration _would_
be
>experts *tongue in cheek*
No kidding! Although, I'm never afraid to ask a question, and am humble
about what I THINK I know.
Thanks for checking out my website!
