Hello again!
Does this server support HTTP????


Now the question I was going to ask was...
What is the difference between a peer to peer relationship and a parent to child relationship?

Can you give an example?

A parent-child relationship means that if the parent object is deleted, the child will automatically be destroyed also (but not vice versa). And a peer-peer means that either can be deleted independently of each other.

eg A parent-child might be used if you have a Customer object (parent) with a relationship to allMyAccounts. When the customer was removed, you would want to remove their bank accounts also (but not the converse).

A peer-peer might be if you have a Teacher object which has a many-to-many allMyStudents (Student has allMyTeachers).

PS What do you mean does this server support HTTP? The news server? HTTP is a protocol, if you mean HTML, then that depends on what program people are using to view the messages.

I wish I had know that beforehand, because It would be a lot easier to program if I had!
