Hassan, Don't get me wrong. I'm very happy with the tutorial. It's just a 
lot of information to absorb. If I completely absorbed all the concepts, 
I'm sure I would have it. It's the structure I find a little confusing with 
regards to the DB I've designed. Mostly I want the users seeing DB views 
not real tables and I was hoping there was a more direct example of rails 
being used as a database UI. 

Tamouse, The DB has many relation ships and spans about 20 tables. I'm 
trying to stay away from scaffolding. The tutorial suggest staying away 
from it and I think I need the DYI approach to ensure my understanding. 
Most users I don't want dealing with any of the tables directly (possibly 
none). I want users instead to see DB views and do updates that update 
multiple tables without there direct knowledge. I'll look into Active 
Record more. 

I was just hoping for an example more directly related to DB views and more 
in line with with a UI just for the betterment of my understanding.

Thanks,

Larry
