Go with geneweb -- someone else mentioned it. MySQL is not transactional. It lacks atomicity, consistency, and integrity. It's basically a filesystem you can access with SQL commands. You'll be better off in the long run w/ PostgreSQL. That said, you can get limited transaction support from MySQL, but you need to compile it with innodb, etc. > > I got this idea this past weekend when I attended the funeral of the > last matriach of the family and had all of this info in a dbase III > program, but never got all of the info completed before she died and > took a lot of the history with her.

Hope that makes sense. > > I really appreciate your time. no problem. As you work on stuff, just fire away with the questions. Read up on setting up Apache w/ SSL. Read up on Geneweb w/ CGI. This will allow you to open port 443 so folks can connect encrypted to Geneweb via the CGI interface. > > Best Regards, > "David A.
