Configuring my first db
Hi, being a new user of DBMan, there are quite a few things I wish to get help from you peopleb:-]

1. I am making the db as a resume bank. Inevitably there are fields for multiple paragraphs. How do I deal with the "maxlength" setting? I don't want to limit the length of some field at all.

2. On the other hand, I think the better way to control the size of a resume record is by the file size, say below 5k of text. Do I have a chance in DBMan?

3. Any chance I can set the date formate to say, 2000/1/26, or 2000/01/26, or 2000.01.26?

4. I checked some other users' DBMan, some of them accept double byte characters (Chinese), or don't. Where do I set to accept so?

5. Any chance I can have html formate on individual records like the UBB does?

6. Am I corrected to put the following items in the same directory, while the others in another, for secruity purpose?
- db.cgi
- db.cfg
- auth.pl
- auth (sub-dir)

7. I call up the script by the link:
http://***/jobsearch/cv.cgi
This gives me the logon page. Where can I "ADD" a new user?

Many thanks.

I just realised that I am in the wrong forum. Can someone move my questions there, or I have to repeat the posting?
