Default Re: RDBMS

Alpha Kodiak said most of what I was thinking about.
Loading files text files as they are in a RDB gives me the possibility of asking Queries in any direction I want. Kind of what people are getting with spreadsheets.

One way to use RDB would be to code a WinAPI file extension (virtual directory) so that multiples mods could be stored in a db and be shown as virtual files for PBW. Am working on something like this for a app about documentation for quality control. Files are basically built on the fly from the DB as soon as someone try to access them. That's how windows manages control panels, Favorites and printers by the way.

Of course if data is stored in DB it begs to simply use it to resolve the turn but this is malfador internals, I guess.

There are nifty tricks hidden in SQL. Ever read Joc Celko's SQL Puzzles?
