Any help will be appreciated.
The updates are, after normalizing them, placed at a whole number times the step size. N * 300 in your case, which translates into 10:00, 10:05. > The reason for this question is that even though there is no error being > reported by the update command in the perl script, when I dump the database, > i see none of those values.

There can be other reasons for this: - you are looking at the wrong part of the dump; are you really seeing NaN values and nothing else? When you start your database, much of it content will be in the past and you have not updated the past - you have set minimum and maximum values and the updates are outside these values The examples in the tutorial should work. Try them. cheers, -- __________________________________________________________________ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ | work private | | My employer is capable of speaking therefore I speak only for myself | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Technical questions sent directly to me will be nuked.
