Multiple Database Manipulation
Hi,

I'm trying to interconnect several databases using the non-SQL version of DbMan, but I'm not sure of the best way to go about it.

The databases will be used for a Fantasy Sports League that I'm running for my friends.

I need one database that can track user information, one they can sign up for themselves. I need another that tracks the players, where I can enter their scores (this could also become a database itself to allow for an open-ended season). And I need one more to sort of combine the two, that tracks which players were selected for which owners and tabulates their scores on a weekly basis.

I know there are probably several ways to go about setting up the tables, some with more tables that allow for greater flexibility and some with fewer that are easier to manage.

Do you know of a way that I could do this within DbMan? Is there a way I can hack a relational database out of multiple flat files where One database can draw values from querying another?

Any help would be sincerely appreciated!

You can do it, but it's tricky and a bit complicated. If you'd like to pursue it, send me private mail and I'll give you info on what I've done.

Have you already setup your relational databases using the relational mod?

There are several examples of how to use this in the DBMan FAQ under the sections "Relational" and "Multiple databases".

You would start with the relational mod, which will provide the ability to connect the two databases together.

JPDeni (http://jpdeni.com/)provides an example relational database you can download. There are also notes available for setting up your relational databases and other examples in the FAQ noted below.
