Subject: RE: From Max: Last Chance for Mudcat Changes
"people make mistakes where computers do not".....ya gotta love it!! Laffing! PS--what the hell is SQL??

SQL stands for Structured Query Language. SQL allows users to access data in relational database management systems, such as Oracle, Sybase, Informix, Microsoft SQL Server, Access, and others, by allowing users to describe the data the user wishes to see. SQL also allows users to define the data in a database, and manipulate that data. A good intro is here. The whole Mudcat is stored in a Database, and SQL is what puts it in and gets it out so we can enjoy ourselves in this lovely forum.
