This is something I'm confused about. Is products.asc still needed for
SQL-based databases? I know that the database definition has products.asc
specified (
Database products products.asc dbi:mysql:nursery:mysql:3306
.. (some stuff deleted)
Database products COLUMN_DEF code=char(10) PRIMARY KEY
Database products COLUMN_DEF price=float, discount=float
Database products NUMERIC price=float, discount
), but why? Or do I also have to keep a local ASCII copy of the database
(this seems wrong to me, as the usefulness of SQL interfaces seems to
be lost). The database already exists from other applications, so I
don't want products.asc to do any kind of importing.
Am I way off-base? Is products.asc needed?
