Ah, did I mention my HNC and HND courses included formal training in database methodologies, and I've used flat-file, relational and hierarchical DBMSs including dBase I thru V, Clipper, FoxPro, SmartWare, Delta 4, DataEase, IBM DL/1, ICL CAFS, Ingres, Oracle, PowerHouse, Paradox, Access... and even an old one called Filetab that was based on decision tables... so mySQL was no big deal either <grin> d'you reckon this is cheating? I doubt if anyone starting now will ever have the opportunity to acquire 'real-life' experience like that. So much programming that used to be done, is just not needed any more. It does mean that on several sites I've done, the database is just a text file with rows of csv data, because that was all it needed. In fact, on one site, the data is all in an array declaration at the top of the page :-) ____ • The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM • ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
