[CS-FSLUG] Database Review Request

[Tim Young]

Hi Don,
I am one of those Missionary geeks you were probably referring to.  For 
the last year or two I have been working on a database system for 
missionary organizations to track their donors with...  One might think 
I would be a good candidate to look over your database design...  heh 
heh.  Let me fill in the rest of the information.  I am a network admin 
who can do some Perl programming, shell scripting, and some C if pushed 
to it.  I can recognize if a database is somewhat relational, and 
perhaps help break it down into various "normal forms."  But the main 
thing one needs to develop a database is a familiarity with the types of 
data one is trying to track.  And my wife always laughs when I try to do 
anything with numbers.  She handles our checkbook, calendar, etc.

Anyway, I am willing to do what I can, but don't expect too much from 
me.  Now, I do have some friends that might be able to do a lot better 
for you.  Which DB project is this?
