1. eu data base enhancement
Rob, please consider on your EU date base the addition of a
'db_table_rename' function. We can delete and add but not rename. This
would be quite useful at the end of the year to delete last year's history
table, rename this year's to last years and create this years again. this
way you can roll over history without having to read and write lots of
record then erase..... what do you think? Inconvinent/mistaken names can be
corrected also.

2. eu data base enhancement
Rob, continueing it could be used as follow.
db_erase("ar_history_last_year")
db_rename("ar_history_this_year", "ar_history_last_year")
db_create("ar_history_this_year")
this would save a lot of reads and writes...

Thanks for the suggestion.
It sounds reasonable, and not too hard.

Why Have Rob do this?
Programming = codeing
'not cut and pasting or useing someone elses material all the time.

Arrgg, you are right, here i have been using RDS's programming language
instead of writing my own. And on an OS i didn't write too. Shoot, the puter
boots with a bios i didn't write! We should have a totally new language written
everytime you or i or David Cuny or Bernie or Derek or Chris or Igor writes a
new include file, which should be scrambled and shrouded! I wonder how
many new unique ways there are to reverse engineer puts(),, using Rob's
code to print something to the screen has got to be the worst of laziness.

I agree, this is a basic functionality. Again, if we had dostring() in Eu, we
could put code into the database, and possibly have it execute when read.
To me, this is also basic functionality,, it's in other languages and database
programs. Like this database entry for "time", for example, which works
nicely:
time= <exec> /msg %haldef.chan <mirccolor12> The date and time here is:
<mirccolor2> $gettok($asctime,1-3,32) $gettok($asctime,5,32)
<mirccolor12> $atime
And i wrote it myself, euman!
