I've got the program working a little with both LinkSQL and Links 2.0. I have not started to deal with keyword integration yet.

I can see where I would probably change parts of this program if (when) I get the time to use it, since some of the hard-coded database features should be broken up into multiple databases (the database is far from being normalized).

One thing to be aware of -- the reporting of SQL error messages is poor to non-existant, and I spent a lot of time chasing my little curly tail last night.

I've got it set up to use my unsold inventory by using click-through and associate programs. Some of the URL's contain characters that need to be escaped when being sent to SQL. We don't see that in Links, since Links catches most of them, but this program doesn't clean the input. I _thought_ I had cleaned my URL's, but I had missed one character in the string I was inserting, and I was almost at the point of re-compiling MySQL before tried the string through the SQL monitor and got an SQL error.

I'm playing with this program, and using some of the new features of LinkSQL, I'll try to integrate these two programs more closely.

If anyone else is working on this, please raise your hand, and lets start sharing insights and qirks/bugs of the program and LinkSQL integration.
