Rich, It is good to hear from another ecologist. You will probably understand my need (desire) to make an electronic plant key. I've had to carry Too Many large and heavy plant keys with me in the field. Something on a PDA or a smart phone would be much easier to carry and probably appreciated by many. But not really appreciated much by the general public. When I ran the stepwise regression analysis for my masters degree in the mid 1970s I was using a mainframe computer and punch cards. You sure don't see those much anymore. I probably still have the book SAS76 somewhere. Bob

Bob, I, too, am an ecologist, but I've been coding applications since 1972. :-) FORTRAN, C, and now Python. I'll suggest a SQL language book as your first purchase. Your description above suggests that nested sub-queries in the SELECT statement are what you need to learn. Learn SQLite, too, and you won't go wrong as your needs grow.
