overclocking database?

Hi,

I haven't had the time recently to update the table. I posted a few months ago to say I wouldn't be around so much as I used to be. If someone can take the information I have gathered and make it into an SQL DB or similar then feel free but be warned that regardless you WILL need regular MANUAL input on a regular basis. The only real answer is a BOT from OCUK. But until then you will just have to wait till my next update (which I plan soon).

BTW...you can use my hosting (MySQL and ASP) if it helps.

Hi there, thats great work! :cool:

Anyone with some of Excel knowledge? Im sure you can covert an Excel document into HTML, then just host it as a viewable sheet from your homepage?

Not wanting to take away your hard work, but it maybe simpler? Could maybe get a forum admin/don to have a stickied post where the viewable sheet is posted, person who created the topic updates it regularly via Excel & links it to his homepage - sends link to Don weekly for updateschanges?

Create a new clean overclock topic as well whatever happens?

Anyway just an idea thats all, I'm impressed with the website created, if I knew how to convert an Excel sheet to html, I would do it & keep it upto date all the time.
 
Way too much hassle. You need to create a web form that puts the data into a table. That means your hosting will have to support a database engine eg. for simple stuff, Frontpage + Access on a Windows Server, for more complicated stuff PHP + MySQL on a Windows or (more likely) Linux Server.

In Excel 2003

FILE->SAVE AS WEBPAGE

In earlier versions

FILE->SAVE AS->(select HTML from dropdown type)

So it's pretty easy.

Sorry - I'd like to make it clear that the hassle will be for you to maintain in the long-term and certainly not having a go at your work. Sorry if you read that and thought WTF?

ive found a database creator, really nifty wee prog. you sure you dont mind me using your current submitted info of your pages?
 
If the end result is better than the original then I have no problem at all. Once you have something up and running let me see (add me to messenger) all being good I'll ask for my sticky to be replaced. :)

that would be great if he could, it wouldnt need much, maybe 200mb at the most as its only text, no images as such
 
To clarify ^, this wil be a project for hardc0re_tid and not something that hasn't been done before so don't expect any perminant fixture.

Another option is being considered by those in charge here. ;)

yep, weescott is going to carry on with his database, while im just doing this out of interest. lol, i wouldnt be expecting works of art for me, i dont know how long this will go on for as there is no need for 2 databases of the same contents on the one forum.

if there is any info that i am able to collect on my site then by all means go ahead and use it scotty
