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 -- =============================================================================== Jonathan Michaels PO Box 144, Rosebery, NSW 1445 Australia ===========================================================<jon@caamora.com.au> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-database" in the body of the message
