Fair play to Mick. Doing better than his former apprentice??

And Foley should be in every Ireland squad!

Is it an access db? i wondered alright about whether you had moved from excel based spreadsheets, id assumed you must have with all the stored records. Great thing to have for these sort of questions/stats, well done tets.

yep, do you think you could sort with the team that was away how many loses they had if they had more irish players playing than the home team...

and also whether or not the team with the most irish players lost more than those with less irish players

Pat Murphy, R5 Live commentator, was just saying that nobody who had seen Wolves play recently was surprised at the City result. Last minute or very late goals have cost them several points. He also says that Kevin Doyle leads the line brilliantly and is the most unheralded player in the league.

no, it's an XML document, getting quite large now it weighs in a 5MB, which is huge for a text file.
I never used a spreadsheet, it started out as automatically generated text for posts in the forum, and then I changed to XML so I could query it with XQuery

you could try this open source tool:

http://exist.sourceforge.net/

I even think mysql supports it now too;

It would make maintenance a lot easier for you, and also easily allow you make changes/additions to the metadata and data.

Stutts, ive seen the last two games and i have to say attacking they are very good, they spread the ball brilliantly and it worked well against city who play a narrow 3 in midfield yesterday. Was great tactics by Mick.

However their defence is very poor down the centre, the midfield seems to be overran easily at times and the two central defenders are lax when picking men up in the box.

I looked into it before, but the server host (Google's App Engine - http://code.google.com/appengine/ ) doesn't support it.
There's not a whole lot of maintenance to be honest, but it is a bit of a pain to remove a player's games alright.

I did notice this tets:
Enterprise features: Coming later this year - hosted SQL databases, SSL on your company’s domain for secure communications, and access to advanced Google services.

Do you pay for the hosting monthly or is it free under certain terms?

Yeah, hosting is free up to a certain amount of traffic. Don't think I've ever come close to it though.

The hosted databases is something you have to pay for.
