[DeTomaso] How would you search a database of DeTomasos?

[adin at frontier.net]

Well, if it IS a database (and I just have to ASSume here because  
someone doesn't like my knickname) then separating data components  
would allow a search by each data component.

i.e. (in example, for the non latin speakers) if color, tire brand, or  
"L" / non "L" are in the database, then one should be able to find out  
who has a yellow "L" w/ Pirellis.

(Personal rant) [1] Why is there a database without someone to  
supervise it? (OK, I'll stop now)

David, don't know much about databases, its only my dumbass job,  
crusading for logic and common sense in the universe.
Gotta go check my medications now . . . .

[1] This would be like the MD required smiley face - if you aren't  
interested in my personal mental defliction, DON'T READ IT.
