Some db's can have header files while others have the headers within the db.Personally having header files is the BIG advantage of WebDNA. We update our customers db many times, or lets put it this way, our customers can add or delete their own header files without touching the actual db.Sincerely, Nitai Aventaggiato CEO-- Tools to energize your business Content Management & eBusiness SystemsComputerOil GmbH http://computeroil.com/ Unionstrasse 4 info@computeroil.com 8032 Zürich/Switzerland Tel: +41 (0)43 333 1 555 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
