The on-line part of your question is the most possible, depending on what you mean by "on-line". The data base part of your question is also possible; again, depending on what you mean by "database". As far as "going about" implementing this; you'll have to provide more details. It's certainly true that you could implement your own database manager, and get that running; then, you could use TCP/IP for the "on-line" part of things, writing your own server, etc... Or, you could use some of the readily available data base packages (say mySql), and some Java code to build a web interface, etc... I suppose, to wrap up - the answer is that anything is possible. - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
