Title: How hal stores information
Post by: nalkari on September 17, 2009, 07:59:24 am

I would like to ask a question about how hal stores information.

For example if I was to collect information with a web crawler and store it in hals database. How is it stored?

Stored? With ones and zeros.

DB Tables. :)

could one of you good people please explain the differences in the table types, and why you would use one type of table versus another.

i was going to try to write a plugin, but i don't understand the table types and their function.

THANKS GUYS!

HEY ONE......is it 1's and 0's or -'s and +'s?  .....yes[:)]

Dude-
I think it is open / close.  or on / off. actually..........

Tables contain fields/columns/rows and usually, if in a DB, Keys.
Types depends on the vendor usually like MS Access or Novell Sentinel ECT

The 'section 8' is a nice touch don't you think?

Spam is good if grilled and smothered with Miracle Whip or Mustard between some lightly toasted slices of bread.
