Thanks for the advice. By "mixed-mode" you mean the use of HSQLDB front end
with MySQL (or other) backend?
I've been trying to read what documentation there is. Not much. I find that
as soon as I get beyond what I already understand, there is a presumption that
I that I have a working knowledge of SQL, which I don't.
So, since my goal is multi-user database, for which I now see that I need MySQL
anyway, I figure I should turn to learning MySQL.
Cheers,
tod
