Hi, thanks for that useful background on how it all works. As a former librarian the thought of all that potentially useful data fading away is a bit concerning, especially if you ever dropped my two favourite varieties of Tempranillo and Sangiovese! Have you considered archiving the dumped records into a seperate archival database? That way it will still be there in future.
Thanks Steve, Tempranillo and Sangiovese will probably stay for a while yet. Setting up a separate archive wouldn't particularly help me as I'd still have to maintain the new producers. Maybe it would be just as easy to keep them in the main database.
Maybe just create a new column to create a flag for archived material so you can exclude them from the live database. Apologies if I'm trying to tech you how to suck eggs :-). Can't go past a good Temp or Sangiovese, though I'm loving Nero D'Avola now as well. I'm in Canberra and we are blessed with a few good specialist places for Italian wines.
