I picked three likely candidates and subscribed. My newserver only pulled 5 posts for alt.comp.databases, so that's out. comp.database looks moribund - no posts at all. comp.databases looks pretty healthy, and the threads have the right kind of questions. I did add a few newsgroups for SQL Server and PostgreSQL, which are the 2 servers I use the most at present. I figure a person would probably have to keep track of 5-10 DB-oriented groups in order to pose some questions. If you had a question which boiled down to: 1. How do I best design the logical data model for this problem? 2. How do I set it up for database X (DDL questions, say)? 3. I am accessing X with language Y - what's the best way to do such-and-such? that might very easily start out as one medium-length post in one NG, likely language *and* DB specific, but in hindsight best be handled as 3 separate questions in 3 separate groups. It's the old problem: how many NGs do you follow? :-) AHS --- * Synchronet * The Whitehouse BBS --- whitehouse.hulds.com --- check it out free usenet! --- Synchronet 3.15a-Win32 NewsLink 1.92 Time Warp of the Future BBS - telnet://time.synchro.net:24
