[ic] Newbie Database question

[Laura Donnelly]

Hello all...First of all...thanks to all of you for your past help. The cart
is coming along nicely.

Question: I have MySQL on my server (through my ISP). I would like to
utilize it for my cart so that if I needed to, I could export the database
and just have an easier feeling knowing it was seperate from IC. I am NOT a
database guru. Can anyone explain to me how I can have IC utilize MySQL
instead of the flat txt file (that is what it is doing isnt it?).

I already have all of my items entered.

And if this is a stupid idea...please let me know.

Laura
