Re: Data anomaloy after upgrade

AH! Thank you. I was expecting the content of the tables to be something different but your explanation clears up another reservation I have had with the database design: why store explicit data when it is readily derived from the authenticated source? We skipped version 9 and were in the process of...

This condition is ...

For some reason, FireFox exports the first line of every ...

Re-constructing details from backups

We have managed to dig up enough backup disks to cover the entire ...
