With difficulty I think...I'm not 100% sure but I think the ID is built into the code....why would you need to change it though?

It looks alot nicer when the dbkey is uncap, anywya i recall back in links, you can change the dbkey inside the .def file, but dunno if sql can also do similar!

You can change the column names as you please in MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, or most other database applications.

The issue is that the dbkey is hard-coded in the LINKS SQL script and column names are case sensitive in Perl and MySQL, so that is why you can not simply change ID to id without changing the codes in the LINKS SQL script.

no back in links, you don't change the field ID, there's a specific line called db_key and u cna change that to whatever u like the dbkey to be!

Correct...but LINKS SQL is VERY much different than LINKS 2.0.

Guess you didn't understand my previous explanation...Wink
