Oh cool. That sounds like something I'll probably learn about in an upcomming class...

Although, if I understand you correctly, are you saying that there are things that can be done at the DB level to deal with something like what MelB posted above? I mean, besides the only thing my limited skills can come up with, which is just a bunch of update queries.

We covered constraints briefly last week. How would you use one to make sure someone spells the name of a city right?
