Thought this might bring a smile to a few faces - this is where I'm up to with the database restoration:

It's looking very good indeed.
I think what was looking to be the end of BA a couple of months ago is turning into its renaissance. The move to SQL for the forum and database will greatly improve speed, reliability and expandability.

love,
Bijou

One thing I have been able to do is include both normal titles and alternative titles in the listings (although I have had to limit alternative titles to one title - additional titles have been moved to the Notes section) - so that "This Special Friendship" appears under both the English Title and under "Amitiés particulières, Les", which should make it easier to find things.

(I have to say though the SQL query statement was horrific to write to get it to do that...) (It also makes the numbers look a bit funny as the number of titles in the list displays can exceed the number of titles in the database, depending on the selection...)
