Space doesn't even come into the equation. There's virtually no difference between a 4-digit number and a 100-character string. Yes there is an absolute difference in storage space, but the difference is so miniscule that there's no point even thinking about it. Especially if you are dealing with less than a million database rows. > b) I'am feeling compelled to do it this way Why? Who's compelling you?

I've done my share of web development over the years. There's no difference between using a string index and some form of number index. And if you have to go over the database by hand, having a string is infinitely easier for your brain to comprehend than a magic number. Now don't get me wrong. I've done plenty of tables linked by index numbers, but it's certainly harder to fix the data by hand since an index number only has meaning in the context of a query with another table. > > Your solution i know it works and i thank you very much for > providing it to me! > > Can you help please on the errors that http://superhost.gr gives? Sorry I cannot, since I don't have access to your site's source code, or your database. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
