The SuSE support database has a wheen of info on whats compatible and whats 
not

No exactly sure if you;re after the number of times the value name appears in the name of a field or whether a field name has a value whatever x number of times

Assuming the latter


select count(*) as 'no_of_times'
from table1
where name = 'whatever'


last one can be 
 where name like '%whatever%' if you want to find the value anywhere in the string

Re: [Scottish] OT : web design

Before spending any money I'd recommend a look at
  http://htmlgoodies.earthweb.com/
Tutorials on there cover HTML, style sheets, javscript, etc. with
downloadable examples.

Depend on how au fait he is with actual webpage coding, then I would
recommend Webmaster in a Nutshell (O'Reilly) as a great reference
book
covering HTML, DHTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL - it is a
_reference_
book rather than a tutorial, but great if you know what you are
doing, but
forgot the specific command.

Personally, I very rarely feel cheated out of my money when I buy
O'Reilly.

Hello,

very OT, but does anyone have a good reference (book/software) for
the
design/creation of a web site ?  A friend of mine wants to make a
site for
his band, but has no clue of how to go about it.  He's computer
literate,
has a nice new Mac and a lot of time on his hands.  Any ideas ?
Thank you,

Elise

Re: [Scottish] hard drives

2003-01-28 Thread Cameron Logie
Neil,

Touch wood, I've never had any trouble with the 12 Maxtors that I've
either bought for myself or specified for my customers.

Just don't buy a Fujitsu for god sake ! :)
You never know how many other skeletons may lurk in that closet.

Regards,
Cammy.

 Hi -

 I'm just about to buy a new hard drive, and I've been hearing horrible
 stories  about Maxtor (cheap but icky) and IBM (just flaky for 2 drive
 models, other  more recent models seem ok).

 I'm tempted by Western Digital (WD800JB - 80Gb, 8Mb buffer, 7200rpm) who
 I've  alway found reliable, and by the Seagate iv series -

 Main apps are audio processing (audacity) and simple office stuff, odd
 bit of  html and Delphi.

 Any info / experience would be welcome before I part with my hard-earned
 cash!

 regards,

 Neil.
