Opening and managing a .CSV file (flat file) from your application will be a lot more of a problem than using a database. Especially if you want to allow your customers to change/modify the password information. And, it makes it far easier to add, update and delete rows/columns in the table (like adding and deleting customer records or a password change). I would suggest you pick a database of some kind (like MySQL, MSSQL or even Access in a pinch) and create a table out of that CSV file.

Also, as your CSV file grows, the performance to fetch data will suffer. This doesn't degrade nearly as much when using a database. With a database, it's easier (and faster) to fetch a row containing your customer's login/password information. Then, you can use ODBC calls to fetch the data.

Even more than this, you can create relationships between tables to allow for linking your login table to customer data table, billing tables, etc. So, if your customer goes delinquent in payment, you can easily lock the login through an accounting system (with the right table columns and coding).

Since I don't know what programming environment you intend to use, I really can't easily give you code examples. But, I would definitely start by moving from the CSV file to a database to allow for growth and easier management.

I would still use the database system because you're going to use the old ones up and have to add new ones (making the database grow). I would add a column called 'used_flag' or similar and mark it with a 1 after that one has been used and a 0 if unused. I might even add a 'used_by' column to mark which user received that username/password combination so you have a history in that table.

So you would do something like this:

SELECT record_number, password, username FROM
ebook_table WHERE used_flag = 0 LIMIT 1;

This will give you the first row that contains an unused username/password combo and let you store the record_number of that combo.

Then…

UPDATE ebook_table SET used_by = = 1 WHERE record_number = 'XXXXXX';

Where XXXXXX is the number you stored from the earlier SELECT.

This update marks the password/login combo as used and who used it. You can even add additional information if you like like date, time, order numbers, etc with additional columns.

You'll want to do these two SQL statements in pretty quick succession to prevent racing issues (two web accesses at the same exact moment in time) both getting the same record. There are other considerations as well. A database can help prevent locking concerns. For example, a CSV file might be locked (at the file level) preventing other requests from happening at the same moment in time. MySQL, Access and MSSQL can be configured to lock at the row level to allow other users access to the table while one user has a specific row locked.

All things you'll want to be concerned with. With CGI, I would suggest PHP because it has PHP-MySQL interfaces that allow easy access to getting data from databases. I can send you example code to do this if you need it. But, I believe when you install PHP (either in Apache or IIS), the MySQL PHP portions come with very good examples.

- First export the contacts you currently have in Yahoo Contacts in csv format.
- Delete all the rows except the header

Now you have the upload format. i think there are some fields you cannot leave blank (e.g last name)

If you want to take still photos remember the old Physics rule. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. You will need to ensure that your flash is at an angle that will shine into the lens at the same angle as it hits the glass in the lens. This will be hard for a moving subject.

You are most likely going to only get flares from the light rather than a complete coverage of the lens. You might like to try using a silvered lens such as some sun glasses have and use a constant light such as a desk lamp if you don't have any constant studio lights. It would probably be best to set your lights in the Rembrandt positions. Ensure that your main light, being used for the reflection, is still at the right angle.

Easiest way is to take the photo then open Photoshop and create some vectors over the lens and then either design or download a chrome style and apply it to the vector. This would give you a really nice reflective cover. You could also take another photo from your perspective and then layer it over the chrome vector so that there is a reflection of the room in the glasses.

That's a change Yahoo made during the update of the original mail page. Auto Complete is now only available with 2 browsers.
