Unfortunately, freezing the field names is not possible in SQL. I use SQL to
create the various formats provided and it just sends out a plain XLS file.
It also has the potential to interfer with import into some databases. A 'Do
I Own' field is not really part of the schema of the data base since it does
not relate to the actual data but a downstream client use. Since the data
base is now too large for a single spreadsheet most people pull it into
Access or some other data base program. I know form talking to some of them
that they have a field for personal ownership on their end and import and
merge the data into that table. Another way to handle it would be to use the
unique identifier and use that to link a table of your personal collection
with the data base. Just create a table with the Unique ID in it and only
place entries in the table if you own it. I use something like this to track
my own collection.

Since we do not have access for a comprehensive list of LD we don't include
them. Maintaining separate lists of all the new format variations would be
very time intensive so we just include them as variation of DVDs. If you are
using Excel you can turn on auto-filter and use the custom filter to isolate
a give format. For example to find all HD-DVD just set versions to 'contains
HD-DVD'. We are planning to include a format flag but that would change the
schema and we do have some licensed clients that pull our files and we have
to coordinate any change with them. It also will required some code changes
in the procedures that process and export the tables. It's not difficult it
just takes time to write and test and Michael and I both have real jobs that
pay the bills that does cut into our development time for this. ;->

As for the copyright it is not the data but the format and backend code that
is covered. Sure anyone can get this data by culling through a bunch of
sites but having it in the format provided is subject to copywrite. In this
case it is the "form of material expression" that is subject to copywrite
not the actual data. We have numerous vetting routines that have detected a
lot of errors in the published particulars of some titles. Since we only ask
for payment if another site is using the data base for profit there is
really no problem. We have had a few times where sites were using out list
for profit without even an acknowledgment and in each case the ISP of the
site supported our request for the small payment and a link. A lot of hard
work goes into this list and all we ask is a very minimal fee and a link
back. Since this is not really a topic within the scope of this forum I
would be glad to discuss this at any length you want. Just write me with a
valid email address and we can go over any aspect of this you want.

In any case thank you for your suggestions we will try to get the format
field included as soon as possible.

Thank you for the very informative, intelligent response.

Setting up a database would be a a pain in the ass for me, time wise,
but would seem to be better than going through the entire list with
search tools. Let the database do it!

Good call. I am sure there are some out there already set up too.

Perhaps I can find out, and you could add links to them in your page
that allow a person to grab both your list, and the DB app that allows
a more featured utilization thereof.

Again, thanks for the full featured response.

Always glad to help out in any way I can. If you need any assistance in
setting things up on your side please just give a shout and I'll do what
you can.

Also, thank you for your understanding. Michael and I don't do this for
money just out of our enjoyment of DVDs and data bases. Odd combinations
considering I manage data bases in my real job. Any change takes time to
push through 108,000 records. It took almost a year to populate the UPC/EAN
field since our data entry is mostly manual due to how the studios provide
the data. Let me know and I'll gladly show you how I use a look up table to
link the DVD data base with my own collection.

I used to do DB devel. AND single entry on large tables!

I can actually stand over a data entry "ho's" (Imus sucks) shoulder,
and type pretty good with either single free hand (guess where the
other hand was)... Heheheh just kidding...

I do have the schema listed online if that would help. It lists the

Thanks. I'll be sticking with the excel sheet and access, since MS
allows use thereof.

I was hoping for something like "Movie Library" from cd software
solutions, but I won't be paying that turkey $40 for it!

He allows front cover images and whatnot, and it is supposedly an
access based database.

Heh! Maybe I should take your baseline schema and write one, and
give you the template for it to critique and put on your site if
worthy... :-]

Doug,

I found a way to get your entire database in one reference, without
having to split it up into two sheets.

Problem is, the only way I could get it to you is to post it in a binary
group like alt.binaries.misc, which is a public posting.

It is 31MB instead of your 28MB.

The key thing now though is that the first sheet is a lookup table
where one ID is put in, and all the data auto-fills.

I could not get this to work in Access, but I am not a big Access guy,
or it would likely be easy.

I also want to add a field where an image of the disc auto-fills in an
area set aside for that purpose. I left such an area, but as yet am
unable to get the auto-fill feature to point to an image file.

Let me know if it is OK to post it, and I will arrange a date to do so
where you will be ready to download it from the Usenet group I put it
into. Otherwise, I can post a screen shot of the auto-fill page, and
maybe entice you a bit. :-]
