An example: If one were to deal with certain organizations and their CEO's. The CEO's often change in some businesses, but you remain friends with (and in contact with) both the CEO and the organization. In such cases it is best to have the organizations in one database, and the CEO's in a different database. The two databases can be joined together by having the CEO's phone number in both databases; all other information would be different. This would enable you to draw information from both databases as if they were one. If a CEO moves to a different organization, only phone numbers have to be changed---all other information remains valid as is. Louis

have a look at codeconscious (Brett), http://www.codeconscious.com/rebol/index.html .. http://www.codeconscious.com/rebol/rebol-scripts.html#Arrays .. http://www.codeconscious.com/rebol/scripts/array-tools.r he says Because I've had too many years of SQL buzzing around my head I thought I would create a few cute functions like array-project, array-select and array-join. The functions work on data that is assumed to have the structure returned by the array function of Rebol. seems to be a bit of sql with rebol-blocks as tables. other approach, but one could write block-to-objects and vice versa? if you think its worth something we could help?

Volker, I've downloaded array-tools.r and will study the code. Thanks for the link. Thanks also for the offer to help; I need all the help I can get. Louis At 01:09 AM 7/8/2001 +0200, you wrote:
