There isn't enough information here to really say for sure. But here goes. For many cases of DBMS access, I like to write Perl code that will perform whatever functions you're looking for. Very often in my case, it's a good idea to put a web-based front end on everything, so that users can have a nice point-and-click type of view of their data, generate custom reports, etc. There's a lot of good stuff in Perl that will make development of such things pretty painless. You'll want to check out the Perl modules, specifically the ones for database access, and CGI scripting. http://www.perl.com/perl/ -- Matt Curtin cmcurtin@research.megasoft.com Megasoft, Inc Chief Scientist http://www.research.megasoft.com/people/cmcurtin/ I speak only for myself.
