all,

hello, and best wishes of christmass and new year.

i have recently, taken over a task that involves maintaining an asksam (for 
dos) database. i was thinking that it would be much easier to have an office 
distributable database, as opposed to teh one machine and having to update teh 
two others on an ad hoc basis.

i realise that schemas are going to have to be built and teh asksam database 
exported .. this isn't a problem or an issue. what i need to know is wether or 
not thier is a sql (assuming sql is up to the task) based methodology to 
handle purely text based information and or wether or not it is possible to 
get text information fields to be searcable ?

sorry, this is not a really formated question. my database experience is 
limited to fiddling dbase3 flatfiles with clipper built engines doing teh 
searching.  

any assistance would be apreciated by this sql know-nothing. well this is not 
strictly true, i know sql exists .. grin.

regards

jonathan
