texte = I know this was just a hot debate the last couple of days. but you guys left me behind a bit, so I'm going to ask for myself with considering the store I am working on now. My client sells anything and everything having to do with outdoor sports, from kayaks to outdoor cooking utensils to sandals to tents, clothing and then some. With clothing, we obviously have the usual size and color options; with sandals we have size, color, insole and outsole. With paddles we have length, color, grip size and 1 or 2 piece sets. and the list goes on and on for various items and their options. My question is to database or to multiple database. Given my programming skills, not the greatest, but not the worst. I am leaning more toward multiple databases. Can anyone assure me that I'm headed in the right direction, or can anyone save me from disaster down the long road? ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
