Sacramento+Databse

After reading over Topic 14 Databases I'm a little confused.
 * 1) How are we going to put all of the information together to make one database?
 * 2) I am not familiar with FileMakerPro or Access. Does anyone have a copy that we can use?
 * 3) Should we limit the amount of information we post to set amount of words/characters?
 * 4) My information is about a restaurant, are we just listing restaurants?
 * 5) Do we need to get together or can we do this asynchronous?

My understanding is that all we have to do for Topic 14 is the following:

1. Pick a restaurant, or other point of interest, found in Sacramento (or the surrounding area) 2. Go to our class Discussion Board, and find the forum called Sacramento Database. 3. Make sure your point of interest has not been selected. 4. Do a write-up on it and post it to this discussion board. That's it!
