Hi Norm, It sounds to me like we have some lack of clerity. Let me see if I can place some useful definitions:
- CSV A text format for representing data. - CSV file A file written in the CSV format. - Database A place to store data. - Program Software that does something. - Database engine A program that manages the data in a database - Database program A program that interfaces with a database engine. - Search engine A database program that looks through some known data set to find information based on the user's request. - Import The action of loading data into a database. This is often accomplished by a database program taking data from something like a CSV file and reformatting that data to be suitable for the database engine being used. It sounds to me like you may still need to get these: - Database - Database engine - Database program - Search engine Am I any closer? --- Rodney Broom President, R.Broom Consulting http://www.rbroom.com/ sql --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
