I read this! ;-) Actually, I did do one project early this year with SQLite and had high hopes for using it. The project just stored a couple of tables that did not need to have relationships. I used Bourne Shell scripting and all worked well because I just needed to run scripts that handled the database. Now I have need of a GUI because I need to train others to easily input and output from a GUI. There is no hope of ever training them to use the Bourne Shell scripts. And the set of tables require foreign keys for proper normalization. Anyway, the example I point to in my message explains from soup to nuts the design of such tables and the SQL to generate them. This is what I tried to extract here 9 months ago, so I thought updating with the answer I found would be useful to novices at the level I was 9 months ago. I guess I'll have to wait for the Amazon book to be published to find if SQLite can handle such database design yet. Then again, my current needs require GUI input and reports and don't need an API. I guess some day there will be an Open Source Database program that does all of this "out of the box" and well, and not require "companion" software packages that one must also master. I hope Oracle doesn't/can't kill OpenOffice development.
