Now I'm with you! You're talking about a database being a program with a nifty front end for the users as well as a back end and possibly even built-in CGI stuff. Whereas we've been thinking of a database as a wholey backend system that has to get data loaded and front end access from another source. > I was told that they might be a PGP?? PGP is "Pretty Good Privacy". I think you mean PHP, and I have no idea what that stands for. (Poorly Hacked Perl?) Making some asumptions: - You can get all of your data exported into something useful like CSV. - You can run Perl on this server. You could use a Perl module like DBD::CSV against your CSV files and have it act like a "real" database. This would mean a little programming, or at least a little searching on the web. But I'm sure that you could find pre-built, free scripts that will do most if not all of what you're looking for. --- Rodney Broom President, R.Broom Consulting http://www.rbroom.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
