Agreed. That happens in other database discussion groups too. I'll try in future to do so. Obviously my note on <Copyleft> was not "obvious" enough.

Galen (interesting name, BTW! That was the father of modern medicine, IIRC?), not one of my suggestions in this group so far will result in a corrupt database. Even if they are done without the proper care. I'd never do that to anyone, having been on the receiving end of corrupt databases myself (as a result of ORACLE bugs!) It's a pain and nobody deserves that.

If you do and it crashes, don't come back and blame me. But I'm willing to bet you whatever you want if you follow my instructions to the letter, you will not end up with a crash. How's that for confidence? :-)
