texte = Hi allIs there a good way to hide a WC database file so that a Web browser can't download it? I was thinking of putting it in another directory and password protecting the directory - is this sensible?I am working on a search engine where the results are sorted randomly. The problem with this is that where the results extend over more than one page, the set of records displayed is in a different sort order - so the same record might come up multiple times as you browse through the results. Is this a way to prevent this? I was thinking of adding a field containing a random value to the database and sorting on this, so that the search results are always in the same order from page to page.
