I thought of doing that, but it would exclude community computers and since many of our audience is low-income, alot of their access is community-oriented.

I'm building a polling app into my cms right now. Sorry but I haven't
built the Oracle versions of the table installers yet, but I can use
the mySQL versions cuz its the simplest sql to post. If this can
help, great. If anyone has any comments on my design I'd appreciate
them as this is a work i
So now I'm trying to create in Oracle the tables for the poll. But when I try to create the first one, which references another table, I get the error, "missing right parenthesis". The only other relational work that I've done was in mySQL so I'm sure that it's a syntax or keyword Oracle issue.
