Well - A database just can go by name and probably you could put something like a "relation" table in there, thus somebody can say: That will work like product A. (if he finds it a relation table) otherwise it has to guess with one of the products of the same producer. But at least at the beginning I will not include that feature: It can leed to too many troubles if the database is empty. > This could be an excellant resource, but it needs a lot of sitting down, and > thinking and designing to make it as good as it could be. :-) I hope I see you helping me :-) > > > Anyway - just my ramblings :) > To which I've added! > oh yeah - to the project - there is a mailing list: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mydebman-discussion (mail address of that list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) Ciao, Matthias -- __ _ __ ********************* /\_/\ \ \_/ \_/ / * Matthias Wieser * / \ \ / * ICQ#: 12597522 * / /\_/\ \ \_/^\_/ * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * WW WW *********************
