(SSN, phone number, DOB…) Most places hereabouts (Alberta Canada) appear to have given up on names and use the phone number instead -- especially if they try once by name and it doesn't work. That means you only have to remember which phone number you gave them. Useless pricks having no need of a phone number usually get (911) 911-9111 ... -- The fact that there's a Highway to Hell but only a Stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic volume. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
