I'd be inclined to think that moving to a relational database properly would be time well spent. Just how many additional relationships would you be looking at? It might be worth looking at providing a an XMLDB model based on the sleepycat xml db API and use that instead of CDBI, I think you would have to do most of the work involved in that if you used either of Catalyst or Maypole. It might be worth asking some of the Catalyst people how you would do it with Catalyst, as it's likely it could be an easier solution for your problem if you don't want to use a relational database. That's not to say we couldn't help you do it with Maypole - it's quite possible and may not even be that hard, but it could be easier with Catalyst and it's worth thinking about before you make a start. regards, Aaron. -- http://www.aarontrevena.co.uk LAMP System Integration, Development and Hosting ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
