Hi Josh,
Thanks for your response.
I'm taking your advice.
I have sampled the Douglas book and liked what I saw, so I just ordered it.
I'm thinking I should see if I'm even able to learn how to build and
use a database, then if I'm successful with postgresql, I'll worry
about building a web interface for it.
Thanks again for the input and guidance.
Mike
