Dave,
Buddy. What the world needs is:
some good programmer/analysts to :
just divide and conquer.
If ALL addresses, for a subexample of CIQ issues, are (further) normalized,
the perceived "problems" dissappear, and using XML tags makes it waaay
easy/flexible/doable(/trivial). Subsequent searching, comparing, sorting,
etc. is then FAST, as well as simple. The prior statement presupposes
"proper" "dB" indexing and proper use of same.
My genuine humble regards,
Jim Cunningham
P.S.
Incorporating use/connectivity/capability or "provision of the services of"
of a relational database and "4GL" language (even SQL) as a standard
precondition seems to be avoided by many. Is that why such problems are
perceived to continue to exist; people seem to think they must do it all, and
alone? They can't find any giants (in this forest of them) to stand on the
shoulders of, to see further?
P.P.S.
They will ultimately need the capabi;ities of PostgreSQL (at least), so they
may as well skip past mysql (let alone access!). It's free, so that must be
the cause of their disconcern. It's powerful, only slightly behind what
Oracle, Progress, Sybase add, for not very long, whenever they add them
(guess why the add the kind of things they do).
Sourceforge ahead!
