Hi everyone!

We are planning to buy Links for academic purposes (University), as it seems neat, powerful and amazingly cheap.

We have good knowledge of ASP and SQL queries, but don't know much about PERL.
We would have some questions to ask you prior to placing our order. Could anyone please answer ? Thanks in advance.

1. How easy is it to add new colums into the database ?

2. We plan to add a 'keywords field' in the Links databse and allow the user to perform searches on this field. How easy would it be to add this field into the current Links search engine ? Does a plug-in exist ?

3. We also need a new field in the Links database to sort all the links according to another parameter than category. Does anyone know how to do that ?

4. Would these mods imply a lot (costly) work ?

Thanks for your time and have a nice day !
