Hey, folks: I'm opposed to having TLF rely on a database. It adds complexity and failure points, and shouldn't be necessary for any forseeable contest log.
Users who want a tool to collect QSOs from multiple contests for analysis, DXCC tracking, and so forth should use a separate application. CQRLog does all that and more, and also exemplifies the kinds of support problems a database can add - just browse through the CQRLog forums for tales of woe from users who can't get the database connection working properly. Networking should definitely be a higher priority. -- --Alan Alan Dove, Ph.D. alandove.com 917.273.0544
