Developments Since the Last Post

PostgreSQL:
The last week or so we have been working on switching the database over to PostgreSQL, as well as learning to log on, open the database, and run queries.

Perl:
Annie and I worked on finding a good template for the perl script which communicates between the HTML form and the database. Dr. Iba gave us a couple possibilities online, but we weren't sure what to do with them or it they would work, and we couldn't find any useful ones of our own. In the meeting with Dr. Iba today we discussed it and then Dr. Iba worked on it some, but ran into some problems. In the meantime Annie and I are supposed to modify the perl script we had for the first New Readings page to work for the other HTML pages. Although the script just writes the form data to a text file, it is a good place to start until it can be made to communicate with the database.

Julia:
Annie and I are setting up a meeting with Julia this week. Dr. Iba wants Julia to come by so that they can work on database corrections.
