Re: [mv] products table?



I believe this question has been asked before, I think for setting up a part by
part computer catalog.  Check the mailing list archives.

Perhaps what you should do is merge all the 9 tables into one, so that each
separate part is a member of the products database, and then use specific
searches (a series of one click searches is what I've done) to bring up
categories of parts on results pages (like, all your hard drives have the "pcat"
(product category) column set to "hdd" (harddrive,) and all your video cards
have the "pcat" column set to "vcard."  See what I'm saying?

You may also be able to maintain each table as a separate file and use them all
as databases, using loops and the like to display database's (product
categories) on pages.

If you decide to go the first route, mail me if you need any help (but it'll
cost ya $$$!) (j/k)

Anyway just my $0.000000002
