I have been using the xbase language (dbase, foxpro, etc.) for about 36
years, writing applicatios for my alarm company, so each database is a
separate file for me. For the last 21 years, I have been using Linux,
and have found that sqlite is my best match for Linux database use.
What I fail to understand is how I set up my files/databases. I have
categories that I write for: accounting, dispatching, service, billing,
etc. Some (most) of these use customer data, so when I am writing code
for the billing program, and I want to reference the customers, is that
a separate file, so I only have 1 customer file to update (the
relational model)? Having a customer table, with indices, in each
category's database (file) breaks the relational model. I have been on
this list for about a year and see no reference to this issue. I am
reading now about sqlite in _The Definitive Guide to SQLite_ by Michael
Owens, but I'm early in the book.
Help?
John
