so if you only have one row  what is the difference between athe 
fontents of a given file and its name?
contents
Terry

the contents of the file, and the row inthe DB were identical.. a 
word °email°, and an email address

relational databases start to be useful when they are given relations 
which typically require more than one column
it is hard to relate apples and oranges if you only have apples

ahh, but I have relations as well with °7°
in fact, my relations can be spread across the net
so the net becomes on big relational DB.. just without the archaic 
DB system.

Im happy for you but to have your test make sense the relation should 
be in the relational database
in the file system the file name is a key and the contents a value
the same in a db would nbe two colums one for the name one for the 
value

well, why not run some tests yourself and let us know the results...

i had two columns in the DB ..
Tomc

[778x3]
in a database you could give a value and return the keys as easly 
as give the keys and return the values
in a filesystem thsi is much less symetric
if one cloum cintained a constant it ought not have been there
Terry

But the DB uses the filesystem as well?  So in essence, you are skipping 
a step
Tomc
23-Jan-2005
[782]
the db you are using very likely uses "cooked"  storage, but  more 
advanced db use raw disk the filesystem knows nothing od and does 
not touch

well, I use MySQL.. pretty much standard these days
Tomc

I am just starting to use mysql a little bit and it is a great step 
up from plain old flatfiles it is constantly improving  a cinch to 
administer, but limited for complex relations

Hey, I found a really neat GUI interface in the Picasa photo organizer 
program from Google. (http://www.google.com/downloads/) If you download 
it or already have it, just click the "Timeline" button near the 
top of the screen. I think it would be really neat if someone could 
make a REBOL clone of that screen.

It's pretty neat - found pictures I didn't know I had.

Subject: [REBOL] Intro to Rebol article for DevX



Hi, i've been asked to write an intro to rebol article for devX, 
a task for

which there are any number of people better suited and for which 
i wouldn't have

the time anyway. So if anyone is interested in writing this i can 
direct the

devx editors to you as i still follow this list well enough to know 
who knows,
even if i hardly ever use the language anymore.

just reading Paul Graham's lastest essay : http://www.paulgraham.com/hs.html

and liking this little bit


Now I know a number of people who do great work, and it's the same 
with all of them. They have little discipline. They're all terrible 
procrastinators and find it almost impossible to make themselves 
do anything they're not interested in. One still hasn't sent out 
his half of the thank-you notes from his wedding, four years ago. 
Another has 26,000 emails in her inbox.

From the article, 

--

The great mathematician G. H. Hardy said he didn't like math in high 
school either. He only took it up because he was better at it than 
the other students.
--

Isn't Carl the same? He took up computing for the same reasons.

I quoted the part above as I too have not managed to get my thank-you 
notes out ... but by a somewhat greater period of time :(

Depends on your hotel, but I don't know so I can't tell. Will ask 
my wife, she was born here.
I think a youth hostel is cheapest. But you can check on the net 
easily, I'd say. My place (with three little kids) is too crowded, 
otherwise you could stay here.

You're supposed to send out Thank You notes? Would it be bad to do 
it after 16 years? Hmmm, I bet my wife did it right away.

I know my wife didn't do it .. and mine is more than 16 years ...
I guess I could say that they were delayed by ecartis ?

In total, the core of our team has invested something like 80 man 
years on this experiment, 18 of which are mine. I think right now 
the key lesson is this -- if you're looking for a job with instant 
and guaranteed success, this isn't it.

on an experiment to measure the winds on Saturn's moon Titan came 
to naught because someone forgot to turn it on

I think, we have too many groups in REBOL3. I start to have problems 
figuring out, where I should post. Can we clean up?
