I would like to link an update script which will be working against
another database using ODBC, thus I might as well, ( and perhaps I can
run against this other 'live' database).
Also I am looking at dumping the sql database to the text files at some
regular intervalls, ( in case I would loose my connectivity and ability
to do live updates), probably after each update.
Thus I can have a hosted server with updated info from a business
system, ( CRM ), located at another place and still have good
availability in case of a network outage.
