Hello Gary, Is your primary goal to write code or is it to have available to you a document archiving solution? If the latter, you will probably save time by using an existing system (e.g., Google Docs). If the former, I have a few thoughts. One, you should probably be using Python 3 rather than 2, I think the command is "sudo aptitude install python3". Two, I think of stored procedures as being good at manipulating data really fast. With a document management system most activity will be retrieval rather than manipulation. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
