( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

At some point when I have a lot of free time, I might consider downloading all the data and storing it in a database, but I'd need a lot of free time to want to do that. I wouldn't take a long time, it's just not that useful. Of all the things I could do with my time, making my own database for all of this doesn't get that high on my list. ;)

I'm not going to need to do fancy selects. Most records have no relationship to other records, and it's very easy to pull up a single record. I already get summary reports about total charges, etc, so I don't need that. Authorize.Net has the basic stuff covered. I just needed something a little different this time. If I did this in DBI, I would have taken a lot more time and had to write a lot more code. There's not a big gain there.

The interesting stuff is already in my subscriber database. That's where I can do nifty things, should I get the time. That is a relational database. :)

And I'm not attributing anything to malice: it's greed. :)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
