Hello
Database library sounds interesting, I just lookd it up from help. This is
something I didn't know about. Funny that I don't recall learning about
database library even when attending domino admin courses. Maybe it is so
obvious that if you're domino admin you should try how every database
works.. if I only had the time.. :o)
Thank you for good tip!!
