  Portable Pause?
 
A request (and please let me know if I'm in the wrong place and/or if this has been discussed previously)... is there a way to download the database, or some subset of it? I envison converting a subset - just items I'd expect to find available (...) (25 years ago, 5-Jan-00, to lugnet.admin.database)

  Set 8002
 
Likewise, WM also has a shelf tag for 8002 but no stock... Number: 8002 Name: Destroyer Droid Price: 49.88 (which I suspect translates to a MSRP of 49.99) Ray (25 years ago, 31-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Set 8238
 
The local WM has a shelf slot and tag for 8238, but no stock yet. Info from the Shelf tag is... Number: 8238 Name: 'Dueling Dragsters' Price (WM): $16.97 (which probably means an MSRP of 16.99) (25 years ago, 31-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Set 6086
 
In thinking about cross referencing, I was reminded of this set which has two names. Is there a way to create a reference item somehow so that this set can be found by either name (I guess one way to do it would be to have 6086-1 be "Dungeon (...)

  Data Base Updates
 
Ok, as threatened, here we go... Since I've been collecting these for a while, some of them may already be taken care of, I'll try and re-check as I go. In some cases, I am confirming question marked items, and I have specified the source for each (...) (25 years ago, 31-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.database)

(...) Oh, it won't be hard to type it in. I think I'll sit down tonight and send it all in. (25 years ago, 30-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.database)

(...) Well, you could always snailmail a photocopy of the stuff. :) Write me for my address if you'd like to go that route... --Todd (25 years ago, 30-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Unique keys for sets
 
(...) OK, it's in column 9 now (the rightmost). Enjoy. --Todd (25 years ago, 30-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Missing Information from Db
 
I really need to put a post here with all the corrections I have. As I go through cataloging my sets, I check all the Pause data to see if I have any additional data (and not that I have a digital camera, I will probably take a snapshot of the box (...)

  Re: Unique keys for sets
 
(...) Not a scream, just a squeak. Consider 9, as in last and keep it last if you add something else. It has less useful info to most readers and thus should be in the region the eye reads last. (25 years ago, 28-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Unique keys for sets
 
(...) Oya definitely. I didn't mean overwriting one of the existing ones, sorry for the confusion. There are 8 columns now, so the new one would make sense either at 1 (first), 2 (first), or 9 (last). IMHO, it makes the most sense in column 1, but I (...)

  Re: Unique keys for sets
 
Separate column please, don't make me parse it out of an existing one.. that's my opinion. As to what the keys are, I don't care, just as long as they are unique. However, as I have pontificated before, you are right. The primary key should be (...) (25 years ago, 28-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.database)

(...) ow, ow, bittersweet! :-) Question: Where is the number 1977 shown? (I don't see it on the scan.) How do we know that the value pack's official number is 1977, in other words? (...) The copyright on 1033 is also (c)1985 then? Do you know if (...) (25 years ago, 28-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.space, lugnet.dacta)

(...) Ok, I can stuff those in one of the columns. Are they most helpful in column 1, 2, or 9? --Todd (25 years ago, 28-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Unique keys for sets
 
Todd, I guess what several of us want is for those keys (regardless of whether they should be seen by humans or not) to appear in the Pause listings. Many (?) of us use the Pause listings to generate tables in our own databases and then use that for (...) (25 years ago, 28-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.database)
