I've heard that instead of using a backend like sql to manage a database, I could stay in Revolution and use arrays. I know nothing of arrays.

I've written here before about a bird database I have. Several times. Forgive.

I just have a few items in a record: birdname,birdnotes,place,placenotes,date However, there are about 18000 birds (records) and I've got them all in one field in Rev now and it's too slow to sort.

If I have to learn sql and so on, this may never get done, but if I stay in my familiar Rev environment I will be off and running. Is there a sample database stack where someone has used arrays to store the data for fast retrieval or some related script to help me learn how arrays could be used?

How can I place those records in arrays and then draw data to make cool sorts and views? I'm not new at all to Rev; only to arrays.

I just need ideas on how to sort the data fast.

Thanks (again!)
