Guest guest Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 The only trick is that we're limited to 10 " fields, " so if we want to add something, we have to take something away. We can change " sit down or take out " to " ambiance. " I think we should add " zip code " to the " street address " line since a zip code will help anyone searching on mapquest. So if you want credit cards and price range, which fields would you want to remove?

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 I'm sorry, I know nothing about data bases, so why are we limited again? One idea is that the address can contain cross street or highway exit (in the east most of the good restaurants are NOT near highways!), so that wouldn't have to be a separate item perhaps.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 We're limited just because of how sets it up. We don't have a way to add extra fields. Okay, I made some revisions to the database I have going, if you want to check it out. I got the price range there by moving the highway info to the street address field, as Gail suggested. I'm putting the highway info even when the restaurant isn't necessarily close to the highway, just to help people orient themselves when travelling. There will be restaurants in the San Diego list that are an hour from each other, and I think knowing the highway and exit are a big help. It's different in smaller areas, though.
