Currently, my vendor database is all on one 100mb zip disc, 106
separate categories, 4.7mb. Each catagory has anywhere from one to one
hundred listings of company name, address, contact information, and
occasionally a notation or two. A listing may be in one category only,
or in several categories. One major problem faced in this system is if
a vendors data changes, finding and updating the listing in every
category in which they appear can be undaunting. It would be a big help
to build one database that would be accessed by each category request.
Changes and updates would be much easier and the database would remain
much more accurate. The task of looking thru the multitude of database
software offerings has begun but many websites very effectively hide
any kind of simple description of what their software is and what it
will do. We would greatly enjoy hearing from others about what database
software they use and would they recommend it, as well as any other
recommendations anyone may wish to offer. All other comments, ideas,
and suggestions will be appreciated too. Thanks, K.
