a few prepurchase questions
1. Can two Link SQL instances run on the same box for 1 license? ie. I have a section which is basically pure yahoo-style links. I have another section which is a content/image management area. They have different category hierarchies so it seems like it might be better to divide this up somehow. Maybe there is a better way I don't see...

2. Is the full license available for reading or can it be sent to me before I purchase? Couldn't find it. Does the license allow unlimited modification of the code?

3. For image upload: (a) Can multiple jpg files be uploaded, then later modified/deleted by the user? (b) Are image uploads validated to verify they are images. (c) Is there an option to restrict file size? (d) can images uploads be sent to a particular directory based on the user. ie. whenerver joe_11 uploads his image it goes to joe_11/uploads/ ...

To go into more detail here is what I'm trying to do:

joe_11 logs in to an admin area for his page. He uploads 3 images and descriptions. These images go into /people/joe_11/uploads/ . This directory is restricted to joe_11's login cookie. He reviews his input from his preview page. He realizes he screwed up and changes one of the images. Later, separate from Links SQL an automated script comes by which reduces the image's' filesize, creates thumbnails then moves the images into a more public-type directory /people/joe_11/images/ and /people/joe_11/images/thumbnail/. Later, when the user page is published, it will point to these directories.

(e) How close can i get to this scenario without buying alot of expensive plugins? (I'll take care of the non-Links script part I mentioned)

4. I'm assuming adding new fields to an existing table can be done through the gui? ie. (ie only image description and image exist for a 100 records, then I go back to add a "location" field)?

Thanks
