Logan T,
I have the mod running at http://www.online-sweepstakes.com/
Masque,
You need to either manually add the field to an existing database or write a script to do it for you. You can find a similar script at www.ten-tenths.com/links/mods/multicat/convert.txt , but you'll have to modify it a bit. I plan on writing a generic one when I get time.
rajani,
I would think anyone with 5,000 categories or a 7mb category.db file would be stretching the limits of Links and would be much better suited using something other than Links, probably custom stuff done in c. It goes beyond what Links is capable of and what it was written for.
I don't think you understand how the multiple categories mod works. I get the impression that you think Links makes a seperate entry in the database for each category a single link is listed under. No matter how many categories one link is placed under, there is only one record in the database for each link. The alternate categories are listed side by side in the AltCategories field for each link. Each alternate category is not placed in it's own field.
